My GI was actually the one who did the study and yes high levels of Vit D equals less inflammation. So for 4 years now under my functional med doctor I have been taking close to 40,000 a week. It took a long time to rise to about 60 70 range. I just had it tested in Sept and it was 120. Yikes, too high. I'd been getting serious pain in my bones, didn't know it was a side effect. So, I've dropped the dose in half and the pain went away. The funny thing is with such a high level I got bad inflammation again so go figure.

I had/have chronic refractory pouchitis (medically managed pretty well right now), and was found to have low Vit D. I also take once weekly Vit D, 50,000 I think.

Seems to be a relationship between gut inflammation and low Vit D, but I am not sure it is causal or just a correlation-does low Vit D cause inflammation, or is it harder for us to absorb/process Vit D with high inflammation?
