How much have you been taking? 

I need 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml blood level.  Have been since 2015.  I took until 2018 just to get to 47 ng/ml .  Only a few days after increasing from 8,000 to 10,000 a day  I said this is sunshine in a bottle!  I am on prednisolone 10 mg/day maintenance dose because before starting GFD I had to take 30 or more mg/day for the fibromyagia for two years,  leading to secondary adrenal insufficiency.  The fibromyalgia was the result of gluten because now with vitamins replensished and no gluten I have no pain.

Normal level for a healthy lifeguard in summer is 70 - 90 ng/ml.  That is our body's self regulated level. 80ng/ml = 200 nmol/L. Depends on the lab.

Lupus activity level is also moderated by higher levels of vitamin D.  Because you need to avoid UV-B taking large amounts of vitamin D should have  been part of your Lupus protocol.  Unfortunately the laws passed in the fifties limits vitamin D research to less than or greater than 30 ng/ml, so you rarely see the studies that show what physiological normal level can do.  "Colon cancer data showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer (linear) with postulated 0 point at 75 ng/mL;"

I get my 10,000 IU capules from Piping Rock. com.  250 capsules for $15.  Hard to find that high anywhere else.

Potential benefits of vitamin D for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus   In addition to the potential benefit of vitamin D replacement on SLE activity, patients will also avoid the excess morbidity and mortality associated with long-term deficiency of vitamin D.

Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought"

Back in the 1950s there was a manufacturing error in a baby formula that caused an epidemic of infant disease and deaths.  "As a result, legislation was instituted in Great Britain forbidding the fortification of any food or any product with vitamin D. This concern for vitamin D toxicity in children led to most of the world (including countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America) banning vitamin D fortification of milk."

      Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback on my post. Here’s the updated information: IgA 0.98 (Range 0.80 - 4.90) Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4 (<=14.99 U/mL, Positive >=15.0 U/mL)

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
