Taking a long scenic route!
Well, at least I know. You can't fight an unknown enemy
My GP told me she'd do the same and then when I went in post op I didn't get anything I needed. Even the Sanatogen vitamins I got on prescription aren't as potent as the Kirkland multi.oh, Im still preop....so I only have a sleeve to deal with at the moment Just trying to get levels up so I CAN get my Ds. And I know we need dry stuff. It's in my notes as my GP has said she will hook me up with as much of what I need as she can and I will top up with what she can't. Have I mentioned before I have an awesome GP?
That is how normies have low calcium...DS'ers are a special risk. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003477.htmbut how does that happen when one eats like a normal person on a health diet? Do I just have terrible genes?
Bolding is mine.Lower than normal levels may be due to:
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Kidney failure
- Liver disease
- Magnesium deficiency
- Disorders that affect absorption of nutrients from your intestines
- Osteomalacia
- Pancreatitis
- Vitamin D deficiency

Yes Donni - definitely. Also normies absorb very little Vit D from food. It is produced by exposure to the sun and we don't get any in the UK!
For post op here is the cheapest link to buy the correct D3 for DSers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121263686679
No there are fruit flavoured tablets....like supersized tums lolNormies have low levels with some of these too, espially D. I forget the exact number of women in the world that are low on D, but they say it should be considered an "epidimic". My D level was 6 prior to surgery, and the range should be 30-100.
Since you have prescription D now (the little squishy green foodfalls?) it is the kind in oil, so use it all up prior to surgery since it should still help, but as others have mentioned, it will be useless you to post op.
