IBS-C linked to Vitamin D Deficiency

Interesting article on a recent study that ties cases of IBS and gastro motility symptoms to Vitamin D deficiency.

Didn't read it all but did they try to administer Vitamin D and see any results or just measure Vitamin D in the IBS prone people?

Correlation does not equal causation. These studies aren’t worth the papaer they are printed on. Did vitamin d cure their IBS? Don’t worry I already know the answer.

Most autoimmune diseases are correlated with vitamin D deficiencies. They are multifactorial in nature and upping vitamin D levels can help in a protocol combined with an anti-inflammatory diet. But you are correct, just upping vitamin D isn’t going to cut it.

Let’s be careful to not make the false associate of ibs with autoimmune disease, it’s a functional problem.

As I read the article, the whole time I was picturing overweight 35 year old “gamers” playing xbox in their parents basement while eating pizza.

Uh, many disorders under IBS umbrella are certainly autoimmune disorders.

I’m not sure if they administered Vitamin D supplementation as a potential remedy in the study. However....full disclosure....I have been dealing with IBS-C since I was a child (it wasn’t termed that back then of course). I have since been diagnosed with a rare genetic joint disorder that as a secondary byproduct causes several vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
I began taking Slow-Mag magnesium supplements a couple of years now which really helps control my heart PVCs and other autonomic issues.
Recently my cardiologist tested my Vitamin D level and it was one of the lowest they’ve ever seen. I am now on a weekly prescription strength booster and a daily supplement. I can say without doubt that I am more “regular” than I have ever been in my life. Could it be coincidence, placebo effect or is it truly working? Who the hell knows. I just figured I would share my own experience.
And my cardiologist’s purpose of getting my Vitamin D level up was not even gastro related. I am about to go through major orthopedic surgery and he wants my bones in as healthy shape to promote healing. I’m glad he figured this out on my behalf.

Magnesium makes you shite too. That's why No Xplode made you have the shits

Magnesium oxide does that. Not the type I am supplementing with. Not to mention I have been supplementing with Slow-mag for years and it never resolved my IBS-C problems. That type of magnesium has a high absorption rate and thus has other therapeutic value. Not all magnesium is created equal.
