A member asked:
I have ulcerative colitis. is it okay to take vitamin d supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ESSENTIAL: One of the causes of ulcerative colitis is vit d deficiency. Since it is poorly absorbed you need big doses and do get out in the sun with good skin exposure and no sunscreen. Do not get sunburned. Also stop taking milk and milk products.
