Anyone ever had the 50,000 units per week D therapy? Can you offer any experiences...good and bad...or nothing to worry about?

Also...my hair is coming out like crazy....and I have been craving potatoes.....someone said B5, B6 deficiency...when they checked October 12th...she said they were fine....could that change between then and now?

I'm also deficient in Zinc....and A big time so I have started that therapy.

Let me know what your experiences are.....

I'm nervous about taking the 50,000 units....

Nancym Enthusiast

Are you under an MD's care for this?

chgomom Enthusiast

Yes, that how I got the blood tests done.

I have sever deficiency in A and Zinc...D as well and I have osteoporosis, penia and celiac.

I am supposed to start 50,000 units of D once a week for 12 weeks.....tonight....

under doctor's orders, i took 50,000 units twice weekly for about 6 to 8 weeks. i can't remember the exact time frame. i did not have any problem at all with it.

sorry for the small letters, but fractured my arm and am typing with one finger.

chgomom Enthusiast

Ok..well thats good to know....

Anyone start feeling any better after starting the D therapy?

How long have you been gluten free? I had extreme cravings for potatoes all my life until just after going gluten free and I stopped all nightshades. Sorry, I don't know about the D therapy.

Armetta, So sorry about the arm. I've been away. Gotta catch up.

Its great they're using Vit. D for treating bone issues! I've heard though you should take calcium and magnesium at the same time though. The vitamindcouncil.com has a lot of info.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞 
    • Colleen H
      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon
