@byurose Have you had time to research benefits of Vitamin D on line.
Vitamin D helps in many ways but is most important, from many of our understandings, with the lungs in general and helping with infections.
If I am not mistaken many who we lost during Covid were found to have low vitamin D levels, per their findings in looking for answers with the Covid patients.
Glad you are taking Vitamin D but surprised if you haven't had your doctor, be it primary care doctor or other, test for your levels since you apparently have BE?
For myself due to my history with low D I take 10,000 IU nearly 4 times a week. So far for 10 years of taking that much my D level has never been too high when tested.

@blm1007blm1007 This is an interesting thread to me. I’m 75, and my Dr started testing my Vitamin D levels in my 50’s.I was testing very low. After trying different strengths it was discovered my sweet spot is 4000 iu’s per day. I’m curious if this keeps me there now when my labs are done again in August, since my BE and MAC was diagnosed in October, and Brinsupri was started in December. Jeanne
