Still Low Vit D

[Ian_H]

I have Crohn's and like most have a Vit D Deficiency. My question is why my levels will not rise despite being on Vit D2 1.25 mg (50,000 units) weeklyfor many months. They stay at 15-18 ng/mL on blood tests with an average range being 30-100 ng/mL. Also I live in Charleston SC and do many outdoor activities so I get a lot of sun.

Thanks for any answers I may get!

Ian_H have you tried vit D3 instead of D2?

 

[Ian_H]

I have not and wonder why my doc has not changed it to D3. I have an infusion in a week so I will ask then

Thanks ill keep you guys posted!

D3 is much better! I'd try that. It's way more easily absorbed by the body.

Thanks guys! Had my infusion and we are going to D3 after I finish this course of D2.

Talk soon!
