The blogpost article that Bella posted contains large number of links.
The following was an eyeopener for me as I wrongly thought that taking food without dietary fat would minimize uptake of VA.
"Even if Vitamin A doesn’t turn out to be associated with CD, it’s always a good idea to keep pre-formed Vitamin A (i.e., retinol, not beta-carotene) intake within reasonable bounds. Oh, and definitely always consume it with fat, for consuming too much Vitamin A without dietary fatty acids leads to excessive production of retinol, retinoic acid, and other retinoids (the article - The acute and chronic toxic effects of vitamin A - describes this finding)."
