re: IBS-C linked to Vitamin D Deficiency

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.
