protonix and vitamin d deficiency

I did not realize this could cause malabsorption of vitamins and am chronically deficient in iron, vitamin d, magnesium etc and was put on prescription vitamins. I stopped taking the acid reflux meds for a few months and now am waking up a lot at night (in addition to my sleep apnea), have gunk in my throat and feel stuff coming back up again.

m taking 6,000 IU of Vitamin D daily and have read many articles on how Magnesium and Vitamin K all work together in the process of absorbing Vitamin D and visa vera...but when my doctor but me on Vitamin D he didn't mention supplementing with Magnesium or Vitamin K. Do I really need to take all three? or can I just take Vitamin D?

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.

Before four years I was severe Vit. D and Vit. B12 deficiency. Just two months before I have done root canal. From that I have severe back pain, sometimes burning sensation on backside, headache, feeling weakness, dipressed mood, not concentrating on work, anxiety. I have done blood test. My vit. D is 60ng/ml, vit. B12 680pg/ml. My CBC, HB, LFT, KFT, cholesterol is normal. Orthopedic Dr prescribed 4 tab. of vit D suggest to take one table after three weeks. I have also consulted to Neurologist.

Hi there, Vitamin D can be low in someone with MS, one reason is because of getting less sun exposure with Uhthoff's worsening their neurological symptoms. Whilst it's not uncommon for someone with MS to take Vit D, Vit D deficiency is also common in the general population, with stats around 1 in 3 with a D deficiency.

Recent blood test shows vit. D 111 ng/ml and Vit B12 is 1074 pg/ml (ref. Range 211-911). May I have elevated vit. D and Vit B12. How to bring to normal level.

Does anyone know what causes severe B12 deficiency and vitamin d deficiency? I am starting 50,000 IU tomorrow (twice a week) and I will start the B 12 shots (twice a week) for probably the rest of my life. I have been really sick and have some other symptoms that I have had a lot of trouble addressing. i have an unexplained fever and Blood Pressure that goes really high(180/120) and then drops really low (90/50).

This same trend is seen with some forms of breast cancer and vitmin D deficiency and higher rates of breast cancer and blacks but not whites.

1- vitamin d deficiency ( my level is 5.7 ng/ml) 2-my hgb is 15.8 3-my iron level is 231 (high than normal) my doctor ask me to take 2000 iu daily but i take 3000 iu daily now ,i have taken 3000 iu daily (from 2 weeks until now) and feel better i went to a neurologist and she see me and my eyes and said i haven't any problem!

I have been suffering with all of your symptoms for years and finally a few months ago after being tested for anything and everything was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency. I have come to realize that this is so common but for some reason is left undiagnosed in most people so consider yourself lucky.

Are you feeling any better??? I have been the same... mine started in Nov/15 and gradually got worse.. they thought is was everything from stress to ear infection... In March I had blood work done and my D was at 13... I've been on a high dose of vitamin D for a month, it's slowly coming along.... this week has been horrible for anxiety and panic attack, and vertigo.. seems like they are a packaged deal lately...I have been doing a lot of reading on blog from others who are low..

She had EBV and despite having a suntan and being outdoors, she had a very low vitamin D level. Months later, she posted and told me that she was feeling better and her vitamin D level was slowly rising.

I told the cardiologist that my heart palpitations return after I stopped taking vitamin D for a month she said vitamin D has nothing to do with the heart...I wish I never stopped taking for a month I probably would of been 100 percent by now...I was on the road to recovery....

Excerpt from Know the Importance of Taking Enough Magnesium with Your Vitamin D... "Vitamin D, just like all other nutrients, works in harmony with several other nutrients to perform its many functions. Most importantly, vitamin D requires and 'uses up' magnesium to convert from supplements or sun into its active form in the blood. As such, it is a big mistake to simply take large doses of Vitamin D without taking the need for magnesium into consideration.

If you are still concerned about Vitamin D, a multivitamin with Vitamin D 400 IU is sufficient. You should not go over that amount in supplementation. Vitamin D is available through our foods also. Fortified milk, breakfast cereals, egg yolks, fatty fish, fish oils, and the sun. Sit at a window with the sun shining in for about 1/2 hour (few times a week) and that will help you get enough Vitamin D.

For anyone wishing to learn about the multitude of conditions that happen as a result of Vit D deficiency, you can read the New England Journal of Medicine article by Dr. Michael F. Holick, noted as the world's renown expert on Vitamin D by the Vitamin D Council (www.vitamindcouncil.com) by going to www.vitamindhealth.org and clicking on "original journal articles". There is also an external link to a presentation made by Dr.

ve been off gluten for 2-3 months (if my coworker is typical - GERD was her only symptom, but she had severe vitamin D deficiency and I think anemia). In my office, we have four people in my section. Three of us have Celiac disease, and the fourth has not been tested.

now at the moment after them thinking i had rhuematoid arthritis of which i had a scan and it was ok im having vitamin d injections once a month and am on iron tablets,and have got to go back to the rhuematology clinic and pain clinic in may.my doctor seems to think i have an inflamation disorder of some sort as wel as everything else bcos my crp and esr was high.im stil in a lot of pain and hope to get some kind of result soon it has taken a long time.

Deep inside I knew it could be due to vitamin d deficiency and so it is. Because I had a family friend who told me there was a lady who was vitamin d deficiency and she had the same symptoms I was having. It took her two years in getting diagnosed and treatment. Now after 4 months of supplementing I am feeling a lot better and I can definitely see light in the end. My level is in optimal range 50-80. Turned out I don't have MS or any other disease.

In the last month I was found with hematuria blood in urine and low vit. D I was put on 50,000 units of vit d weekly. UA again in 3 months. I have aches/pains that come and go in limbs and fingers. I was very tired but seem to be getting that under control. I did loose 15 pds but now my weight is steady. Praise. I do have stomach pain too that comes and goes. I have had multiple blood work everything came back fine except the vit d.

ve had the battery of tests done for thyroid, anemia, RA. They all came back negative with the exception of a Vitamin D deficiency. My vitamin D level is 14. Could it cause all these problems? I was told to buy some Caltrate and start taking that. But from what I've seen I don't know if this is the right route to take. Maybe I should see an endocrinologist? I also have to go for an MRI of the head sometime soon.

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...

Hi Dr. Smita, Thank you for your response! Actually, I had all my blood test checked (calcium, magnesium, TSH,...etc) Everything came out normal except vitamin d is low. Could it be vitamin d deficiency and calcium still can be normal? I don't understand. My doctor prescribed me 50,000 IU vit. d once a week x 12 weeks and I'm taking Gapapentin 300mg at night from my neurologist for sleep. What he told me my twitching is benign and don't worry about it!
