thanks all for responding, although I really am looking for a publication that I know is there, as I've seen it but as it does not concern me I let it pass.
When this regimen started? For me it took many years. For example in 2012 it took me double the vitamin D3 dose to reach half the serum levels, than in 2018.
some months I think, i do not know the situation well but hoped to give mom this publication when I heard her story. Until now the illness of the boy was thought to be a B12 uptake problem, but is clearly more then that.
I am having to tirate up on my D3 very slowly. My blood pressure drops and I faint when I go too fast. It will be about a year that I started with the baby drops and now take 1000iu daily. I have added another 1000iu twice a week. There is a really good vitamin D thread on this board, that is what helped me understand.
thank you, that in general is my take on taking stuff, start low, go slow.
I'm having secnd thoughts too, but mom has to find her own way, maybe I'll direct her to PR, but do not know about her knowledge of english.
Some docs recommend methyl folate for undermethylators. My vitamin D level is just now getting close to low end of normal after years of supplementing and working on healing damage to my gut. It takes a very long time and is frustrating.
can relate to that, the slow and frustrating bit I mean, have no problems with D3 myself, but other things. Still housebound that is. I may suggest mom she looks into to the vast terrain of methylation
Any idea of the boy's nutritional staus and GI function? Vit D absorption is best when taken with a fatty meal but fats tend to make GI motility issues worse and may get reduced in the diet. Malabsorption of fats can also be the problem, EPI (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) for instance.
No idea, I've seen a pic and he looks thin.
There is a likely a genetic reason for the poor D absorption in some people. Poor D absorption usually goes hand in hand with osteoporosis and thyroid disease.
that might well be.
so i repeat my question ( else I need to do searching myself and do not feel my best these days)
and somebody here has that article just for the taking.
err... maybe
@pattismith knows which publication I mean
