Vit D

Has anyone supplemented with high dose Vit D? Currently on 10,000iu daily as a part of the antibiotic therapy I’m on. Worried about toxicity? It’s used as an immune modulator

Ditto. Get your levels checked and blood work done.

I too am in 5000 iu a day. It keeps me at about 50. I was on 10,000 iu once a week thru a prescription. That did not work for me. My GI checks my levels every 6 weeks. (I had kidney failure after a surgery so we are being cautious.)

Good luck!

I also take about 5,000 IU most days. This is a good amount for me, verified by recent labwork.

Theanxiousaries,

Dr Berg has some interesting videos about Vitamin D on youtube. He goes in to detail about high levels of Vitamin D and what he considers safe.

TAA, how long are you suppose to be on this protocol?

High doses of vitamin D can increase calcium levels which can cause crystals/kidney stones to form. If you are supplementing calcium while taking this much vitamin D, I would stop the calcium.

A month at this stage. It’s a part of an antibiotic therapy which aims to treat ibd caused from infectious reasons. It’s hard to say if it’s working because I’m on steroids. I’m at 20mg now. From 100mg. He checks inflammation in the beginning and rechecks after a month to see if the inflammation reduces. If they don’t work this sets me up for FT. My Drs is With Dr Barody
