With some forms of IBD or microscopic colitis deficiency may be attributed to malabsorption.

I have collagenous form of microscopic colitis, took budesonide, a colon-specific steroid, for about 3-4 months - although initial relief from hellish diarrhea came in 3-4 days.

Vitamin D wasn’t recommended to me in response to that diagnosis but I have been taking it since I was tested and my level was 13.
