My mutlivitamin already contained 250% of the RDA on vitamin D. My calcium supplement (taken twice a day) contains a total of 250% of the RDA. Started taking the calcium supplements because I'm gradually reducing some of the dairy (essentially, straight milk) out of my diet as I seem to be lactose intolerant. Ironically, I had symptoms when I was a teenager, but when I got pregnant it sort of went into remission until recently. Used to be I could eat a bowl of cereal or two, and it wouldn't bother me, or bother me only occassionally - but lately, it's become a daily thing.
Unfortunately, eliminating my cereal also eliminates my fiber source (shredded wheat) so I'm still on the fence about this change - I know I'll end up having to take a fiber supplement because I know that I won't be able to keep up the required fiber in my diet if I don't.
I also plan on asking my pcp to test me for gluten intolerance, just to rule that out. We are planning on changing our diet, as well as we can financially at this point, to be healthier, but there is no way I can convince my husband and two kids to go gluten free (I have enough problems keeping weight ON my kids), and I certainly can't afford separate food just for myself. As it is 1/3 of my monthly income goes to food - and that's with $188 of food stamps thrown in.
I've wandered away from my original point - how much is too much vitamin D?
