Re: Re: Vit D - Dr. Cannell's reply re calcium

[Guest guest]

This from Dr. Cannell: 

 

" Jaquelyn:  I would stop all calcium supplements until 25(OH)D levels are > 70

ng/ml. Drink calcium fortified juice and eat yoghurt if they can't/won't drink

milk.  Do not worry about calcium blood levels and do not check them until 

25(OH)D levels are >70 ng/ml; then check a serum calcium.  I am home today, give

me a call.  "

 

I'll report any further info on this after I speak to him.  Dr. JM

Same here - sunshine in Arkansas. I'm not sure what to do about our daughter,

autism, and Vitamin D. She has calcium/magnesium/ phosphate crystals in her

urine which causes kidney problems. I've had her calcium levels checked but not

Vitamin D. I want to do that but I don't know if I want to up the intake if it

increases her calcium in the urine? I'm not sure what I just said but I think

I'm concerned about the same things you are. However, I believe Vitamin D is so

important for autism.

low and prescribed 50,000 IU to be taken once weekly. This seems

likes an awful lot but I suppose 18 isn't good, either.
