VITAMIN D DEFFICIENCY

HAS ANYONE HAD TO DEAL WITH A VITAMIN D DEFFICIENCY?  MY LABS JUST CAME BACK AND I AM LOW.  I AM 4 YRS OUT AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.  I GET MY LABS DONE EVERY 4 MOS.  THE ONLY THING I AM DOING DIFFERENT IS TAKING NEW WHEY LIQUID PROTEIN, WHICH HAS WORKED WONDERFULLY TO HELP GET MY PROTEIN LEVELS BACK UP.  ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.  WHAT CAN I DO TO BRING MY D LEVELS BACK UP?   THANKS

Karen, docs are finding this happening more and more for RNY patients.  I had it happen to me also.  I am now adding dry Vitamin D to my daily vitamins.  I ordered the ones I take from www.vitalady.com.  Make sure you take DRY vitamin D. I hope Michelle responds, she helped me tremendously when I was dealing with it. Good luck!

me too....my doc gave me a script for 50,000 units of vit d taken once a week.  i guess it caused my calcium levels to be off as well. just found out i am hypoglycemic........ i am 7 yrs (july 30-2001) post op. started having problems last year....my thyroid is not right either. who knows,     blah

I take the same as you 50,000 iu of Vitamin D once a week. 

I, too, have low D level - went to www.vitalady.com and ordered dry D, 50,000 IU, which I take once a day to bring my levels up.  My level was at 12 and I need to get it closer to the 100 mark...and will have it re-tested in 2 months. Good luck to you! Patti

THANK YOU TO ALL, I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE INFORMATION.  YOU ARE ALL SO WONDERFUL.  THANIKS KAREN

Yep - same here.  My vitamin D was 14.  I'm taking 50,000 dry D from vitalady also and taking it once daily and will retest to see where I'm at (which I need to be re-testing here very soon!).  My shooting for closer to levels of 100 as well.  At least 80.
