shayv123 96 Posted January 24, 2013 Has anyone else experienced a Vitamin b1 or a Vitamin D deficiencies? I just found out i had to increase the D to 5000u and the thiamine to a liquid for better absorption. Are there any foods that any of your found helpful long term to prevent it from happening in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mi2sc 38 Posted January 24, 2013 I take 5000, but then again I live in Michigan, so my exposure to natural vit d is not very high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shayv123 96 Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe I need to go outside more......I hate being outdoors though, but it is a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted January 24, 2013 I was put on 10,000 a day before my surgery, and I can honestly say I feel great since starting it. As you lose, I'm sure your levels will go up.

ashelaine 383 Posted January 24, 2013 5000 of vit d isn't bad. I'm a 10000iu/ day girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted January 24, 2013 I'm on 10,000 a day. Most people are vit. D deficient. I was told to take vit B when I had surgery, so I took a B complex every day. Now I am told my B Vitamins are way too high and to stop all B Vitamins.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shayv123 96 Posted January 28, 2013 Thank you ladies for responding. I feel much better knowing that I'm not alone with this, and that 5000 isn't a astronomical number. I'm hoping that I will be balanced when I got back to get checked again in 2 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hm734 228 Posted January 28, 2013 Before surgery I took 50,000 (yes 50 thousand) units 2x a week. My level was 11 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chubarella 87 Posted January 29, 2013 I take 50,000 IU twice a week. My level was a 9. I haven't had surgery yet but my level has gone up to 40. Not sure if the doc wants me to continue using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
