High pth

[Tufer777 0]

How much vit d Dh can we tolerate daily? I'm trying to get a very high pth level down. Thx

It depends on your current health conditions, gender...bla bla bla but 1000 IU to 3300 IU is the safe zone as per studies.

Are you a full postop DSer?

I am a full ds'er! I need to figure out what the max amount of vit d we can tolerate without toxicity.

It all depends on what your blood tests show. Many (not all) take 50, 100 or 150k per day of D3 (dry). I take 100k per day (Sunday-Friday) and 150k on Saturdays. When I have my bloods done next month I'll probably have to tweak that depending on what they say. How much calcium citrate are you taking per day?

Dumb question. What's DS mean?

Never mind. Just found it. Duodenal Switch. Same as Roux-en-y?

Found answer. Another question.

Not a dumb question at all.

A Duodenal Switch is very different than an RNY. Different operation, outcome, eating parameters and vitamin/mineral intake.

I don't have the numbers yet for my vit d levels yet as they have TK mail it to me, but they just called me to tell me it was low & pth was high. So, do you think that I can take 200,000 iu daily with no real concerns?

If your doctor ran the tests, what do they advise? Seems smarter to do what they say than quiz random folks on the internet.

I'd wait to have the results in my hands. Then I'd start smaller. Probably 50k/day. Then get another blood test at 4-6 weeks & look at your numbers. That's how I've done it.
