Vitamin D


minnie

Recommended Posts

minnie Newbie

Recently I when to see a doctor for my Osteoporosis Treatment, the doctor I saw

was a Meabolic Bone Disease doctor. She had me take a blood test for my vitamin

levels. The results warranted a 24 hour urine test to see how I am absorbing vitamin D,

the results where I had a vitamin D defecincy and put me on 50,000 units of

vitamin D and due to my allergy to the soy in the vitamins I had a problem

with bloating and it caused constant coughing. I also found a connection to my

vaginal yeast infection due my Lichen Scoliosis (associated with my Thyroid

Diease/Sjorgens Disease) caused by eating sugar and or the vitamin D?.

Anyone with simular problems, reactions or can help please connact me. Open Original Shared Link

I take a vitamin D supplement and a multivitamin with vitamin D in it every day. I also drink boost sometimes as well. Vitamin D is not naturally in most foods (it is fortified in milk) and if you don't get much sun it is easy to become deficient.

due to my allergy to the soy in the vitamins I had a problem

with bloating and it caused constant coughing

Maybe ask your pharmacist or doctor for a soy free and gluten free vitamin D supplement, or ask if boost or any other vitamin drinks are soy and gluten free. Or if you're not allergic to dairy just drink tons of milk!

This is very interesting information. I recently talked to my alt. M.D. and he was telling me the Vit D RDA was 400 but should be 4,000 I.U.!!

I assume you won't be on the 50,000 I.U.'s for too long as it is fat soluble and can build up in your system...

I am very sensitive to soy and have Hashi's thyroiditis so shouldn't have it anyway... Soy is one of the top three food allergens and I think we are going to see more and more people becoming allergic to it because it is in everything..even infant's formula!

I use Dry D which has no soy, and Cod liver oil which also has Vit. D, but no soy. All the other fish oils I've found use soy..and there is no reason to do so other than it is cheap!!

Is Boost dairy and soy free besides being gluten-free?

I don't need it unless I used it as a meal replacement.....could stand to loose 15 - 20 as it is.

As far as I know, all flavours of boost are gluten and lactose free except chocolate malt which is only lactose free. I am unsure if boost or certain kinds of boost are soy free.

Boost also has vitamin D, but only like 25% or so of your daily intake.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
