Question 1

Can vitamin d cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

Hi. Nope, vitamin D doesn't do that. The average American diet does, however. Most people eat a low fiber diet, and constipation is a common side effect of the unhealthy American diet. Increase fiber in the diet (veggies and fruits) and use fiber laxatives, if needed. Drink plenty of fluids. It's no fun to be FOS! Good luck!

Question 2

Will vitamin d supplement cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin d has been reported to cause constipation.  In your case, there is no blood test to determine if constipation is caused by vitamin d.  It would be reasonable to stop the vitamin d for 1-2 weeks to see if the constipation resolves.  If it does, you are likely confirming this as a side effect.

Accepted Answer

You need to be seen and fully evaluated by a GI doctor, and this will mean subjecting yourself to endoscopy and possible small bowel biopsy. This may or may not have anything to do with the viral infection you had, but there is no way to tell without a full assessment. Hope this helps.

If the baby is breast fed or on a good formulae calcium supplementation in not necessary.  Breast fed babies do need vit d.  Crawling and number of teeth are not an indication of sufficient calcium.

Accepted Answer

Changes in stooling are often related to changes in diet.Rice cereal & bananas are common constipating agents while juices often loosen stool. Constipation is often a misapplied term.If it is soft but not every day i don't consider it constipation. Rabbit pellets or harder i apply the term.

Question 7

Can a breastfeeding mother take larger vitamin d supplements to allow it to pass down through breastmilk rather than supplementing with a vitamin d drop directly to the infant? how much sun would a baby need daily if they didnt take it?

Accepted Answer

Breast milk alone does not provide infants with an adequate amount of vitamin D. Shortly after birth, most infants will need an additional source of vitamin D. To reduce the risk of skin cancer from sun exposure,  keep infants younger than 6 months out of direct sunlight.
