Avatar m tn Has anyone here with kidney stones tried vitamin B6 and magnesium to prevent new stones from forming? I read a study that concluded that taking 50 mg of B6 daily with 300 mg of magnesium oxide (one of the least absorbable forms of magnesium) will prevent future kidney stones. I also read that potassium and B6 does the same. Perhaps the magnesium works because potassium is better absorbed if there is sufficient magnesium.

550622 tn?1247656720 My Endo has prescribed for me to take 50,000 IU of Vitamin once a week for three months due to a Vitamin D deficiency (level was 16). Has anyone else been diagnosed with this and taken that high amount of Vitamin D? I have Graves Disease, but am currently in remission. The Endo does lab work every 2 months and keeps close tabs on my progress. Thanks for any comments!

Avatar m tn s estimated to affect half the planet has vitamin D deficiency. Considering that anything from cold to cancer is linked to vitamin D deficiency this is not surprising. Magnesium is the boss of all the major minerals (calcium, sodium, potassium) and the powerful steroid hormone that was misnamed a vitamin - vitamin D. Don't mess with the boss or you will see you are still vitamin D deficient after all that supplementation. Bonus tip: fat doesn't make you fat but high insulin does.
Avatar n tn It was difficult for me to choose a topic. I am interested in Vitamin D deficiency. For the last 10 years my health has gotten progressively worse.
Avatar f tn Hi. A couple months ago my doctor checked my vitamin D level and told me it was 20 and that it was low so I should start taking vitamin D. Since then I've been taking 1000mgs on and off sometimes on for 2 weeks then off for 3 weeks....well I keep getting infections like sinusitis, I've had a UTI, tonsillitis, and now the stomach flu... I also have random pain on my body but lately mostly my left arm has been hurting and I've also had palpitations...
Avatar n tn I have kidney stones. I was told that the kidney stones are a result of a high para thyoid level . and a low Vitamin D level. Has anyone ever gone through this ? It's all brand new information to me -- and I don't know what to think.

Avatar n tn There are some medications that can cause a vitamin D deficiency so maybe do a search on the internet to see if any medication or treatment you are receiving or have received are know to interfer with the absorption of Vit D. I would get your regular doctor to treat your Vit D once you have consulted and have a planned treatment ring your Endocrine and ask them what problems they would see with this and if they require to see you regarding this. Hope you are able to sort this out...
Avatar f tn Vitamin D deficiency is commonly due to not enough sunlight. However, the causes of vitamin D deficiency are numerous and you may have more than one condition contributing to this deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is estimated to affect at least a billion people worldwide. When vitamin D levels are not rising well or at all (vitamin D resistance) low magnesium levels are the first suspect. High doses of vitamin D can worsen an existing magnesium deficiency.
Avatar f tn In PKD there may be osteomalacia and vitamin D deficiency. A common complication of polycystic kidney disease is high blood pressure. Kidney failure is another complication. It may be best to get an evaluation done. A clinical examination and work up like ultrasound kidney, ureter bladder, and kidney function tests, vitamin D levels and calcium may be done. Treatment will depend on the cause. Do write to me again with more queries. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn thus, do not take supplements of vitamin d nor eat alot of food containing vitamin d such as cheese, milk, eggs etc. nor excess sunbathing since sunshine produces vitamin d in your body. You're better off living with a vitamin d defeciency than taking supplements advised by your doctor. Also, do not take calcium carbonate mineral pills since it could contribute to kidney stones because kidney stones are actually pellets of calcium carbonate !!

Avatar n tn Have it tested when you have your next blood test. Kidney stones could mean too much calcium, and the Vitamin D could make this condition worse. Too much Vitamin D can also cause other kidney problems. Consult with your doctor and have him/her do a full blood panel.
