I really don't know if there is a real IBD vitamin d connection or not, conflicting info of course.

There are lots of people in the middle east with low D, IBD is increasing but not rampant as far as I can find.

You would think it would be epidemic,so other westernization factors probably contribute.

But just started to rub 5000 iu on my chest, as opposed to oral, figuring that might be a more

natural way to get it.

Turns out even vitamin d from the sun takes about 48 hours to absorb, so possibly one reason

for even people in calif with high sun exposure and low D levels is showers/soap/detergents.

It is also interesting that vitamin d is made from cholesterol, many UC people have low cholesterol.

Anyhow watch this video or just read the transcript.

Just starting to look into this, if taken orally first goes to liver then to kidneys to be converted to active form.

If from skin, goes directly to kidneys and bypasses the liver as far as I find at this point.

of course it may have everything to do with your colon VDR expression regardless of serium D status.

I've seen statin drugs do terrible things to people. Cholesterol can't be played around with, as low levels are a good predictor of mortality (see Framingham, Mass. Study on cholesterol). I think rampant sunscreen usage also contributes to diminished D levels in the US. There's an interesting documentary about cholesterol called Statin Nation. It mentions the paradoxical effect of taking a statin drug - it doesn't just cut off vitamin D production, but also diminishes coenzyme q-10. This starts to weaken the heart muscle and causes further damage to organs (particularly the brain). So ironically, people are taking a drug that doesn't just cause what it's supposed to prevent (heart disease), but it induces autoimmunity, Alzheimers and a plethora of other bodily damage. Just ashamed of what so-called "modern medicine" is doing to people.

There was also an article about the current guidelines on cholesterol being upended due to the faulty research. My god did they screw up on this.

The authors of the perfect health diet recommend at least 3 egg yolks a day. I tend to eat around that much and I've seen great results.

Well here is another reason to check vitamin D status and perhaps supplement.
Chances of getting c diff, and even death.
