Hello anyone here with both of these things? I was recently told I am vit d deficient. Before that despite on being on strict dier and omeprazole my gerd had been getting worse. I was prescribed with vitamin d and hoping it will improve some if not all my gut troubles. Anyone here have had symptoms improve after being on vit d supplements? Thanks. I also have lower back pain/fatigue/depression/anxiety.

Hi

I struggle with both, and unfortunately have found vitamin D softgels really irritate my insides and give me nausea. I'm not deficient though, and it could just be the brand I used, but hopefully they work better for you. Only way to find out for sure is to try them I'm afraid.

Hi Sildasher,

My GP told me to take Vitamin D3 (2,000 IU) in order to absorb other supplements. If you are Vitamin D deficit it will be tough to absorb Calcium, magnesium and other vitamins. I have to stop taking Vit D and other vitamins when on PPI or when I was battling acid rebound. Non of those supplements seems to work for me when mix with the PPI. All the best to you.
God bless.

Hi thanks for the replies. I am on iu 50000 twice a week for three months. On my second week now. Ive been on omeprazole but nothing seems to shift. I don't have much pain. Just soreness around my chestbone area and abit of reflux. The only thing bothering me is the depression that comes with it. I read that lack of vit d can cause my symptoms. Gut problems, depression, joint pains, etc

I've heard that Gerd can cause the vitamin D deficiency because the excessive acids keep you from absorbing vitamins and minerals. I'm on 50000iu once a week for 8 weeks and so far I'm tolerating it.
