Can't find Vitamin D that doesn't give me hives?

I am very low on Vitamin D and with this virus going around I'm in need of it,  I've tried three different brands so far and about 2 hours later I'm breaking out on my hands and feet. I haven't taken a Vitamin in one week now and I haven't broken out since. I've tried Nordic Naturals, Nature Wise, and Nature Made, I'm not sure what else I can try my Vitamin D is at level 4  my doctor put me on 5000 IU daily. Any suggestions?

Have you tried cod liver oil? It's a pretty good source of vitamin D.

What about the sun?  I live in Southern California.  My Vitamin D levels never go below normal even in winter.  Even if you live in Northern areas, consider getting in the sun daily as weather permits.  

If you need to supplement and are worried about gluten, consider a certified gluten free brand like Country Life.   Here are some other recommendations:

But you mentioned hives.  Hives are one reason why I take no medications unless they are life-saving.  Medications like NSAIDs or even acetaminophen can cause me to swell and break out in hives.  So, I would recommend the sun and look for food sources.  This works for me.

CCD,

I found a few articles for you.

Vitamin D deficiency in urticaria

https://ctajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13601-018-0234-7

And...

Vitamin D and Sunlight

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3897598/

 

I can't take cod liver oil because of fish allergy.  But I like Naturewise Vitamin D 3.  I can't take Vitamin D2 , the synthetic form.  

You might try artificial light therapy

Liver and shiitake mushrooms are good food sources.

Hope this helps!

Hi CottonCandyDream,

Oily fish is a good source of vitamin D.  Salmon, tuna, mackeral, sardines all have vitamin D in them and so do eggs.  Free-range/pastured eggs are better tho.

Getting some sun is a great way to improve vitamin D levels.  At least it is in the summer time.

I forgot to mention.  Boron helps the body retain vitamin D.  So it may be helpful to take a small amount of boron.  Calcium and boron and vitamin D are all are involved in building bone.

My research showed me my D3 was derived from lanolin. I have a wool allergy so I buy Bluebonnet D3  I found on Amazon which is derived from fish. I feel much better with no adverse effects.

I don't have any issues with the Procapslabs.com nutrients.  I take high doses now of their D3.  My D was also low and refused to go up, I was eating eggs and all the other sources, but no help.  I added their K2 (K helps D to be absorbed) and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar just before the meal that I am takeing the D3 (you need stomach acid to absorb many vitamins, and D is one that needs acid).

      Hi Tibaked If you are diagnosed with coeliac disease, you may find that all sorts of symptoms will be alleviated by a gluten free diet.  GERD and lactose intolerance can be greatly reduced if not eliminated once the gluten-free diet is adopted.  However, if you want to be tested and officially diagnosed you will need to have been consuming gluten until your blood test/endoscopy.   Although I don't have the same sensations you describe before my diagnosis, I frequently woke up with numb arms and numb fingers.  I could feel pins and needles in my extremities.  Weirdest of all, the sensation that drops of cold water, like rain, were falling on me, even though the sun was shining or I was indoors. It took time but things got much better after after following a gluten free diet for a while. Of course,  some neuropathy is caused by malnutrition, common in coeliacs when first diagnosed,  so make sure the doctor checks your vitamin (particularly B12) and iron levels. Cristiana

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.
