Hi.. so my vitamin d levels are 10 and i have lots of symptoms..i have lpr for the last 2 years now with the ppis not helping at all..i started supplementing with metagenics d3 5000 iu but my tummy is cramping very badly.. could it be the d3?

Very unlikely: D3 itself should never cause cramping; the only other ingredients are safflower oil, gelatin and glycerin; you might be reacting to one of those but it would be unusual. But both your lpr and and cramping are likely related to imbalances of your flora. You can try stopping D a few days and restarting to see if it makes a difference. See https://tinyurl.com/p88fxjm
