@stuckonu I don't really know how IU translates to mg but after having a vitamin D test showing that my D was borderline low my PCP prescribed vitamin D2 50,000IU (ERGO). I checked with my transplant department and they said it was fine. I am only to take it once a week. Just now it occurred to me though, isn't D3 what a person is supposed to take to supplement calcium?

Jk, I read that D2 is vegetable sourced and D3 is animal. After my hospitalization for what they said was a small bowel obstruction I decided to go back to my quasi vegetarian diet: no animal flesh which includes fish and fowl. Based on what I’ve been reading I did the wrong thing because vegetarians are none to be D deficient. I’m still in the dark because there’s no finger on the pulse.
