Yes, that is one reason for all the blood tests. After a month on 50,000 per week, my vitiman D was up to 21. It will have been 2 months now since I was there so hopefully it will be great now. But my oncologist says to take 1000 mg daily after we get it where it needs to be.
I had bowel resection and in the middle of the wadded up deseased bowel they found cancer. It was pure luck that I had to have bowel resection because of fistulas, otherwise my colon cancer would have spread. I only see the oncologist to keep check of everything, no further treatment was needed. But while in the hospital with the bowel resection I had to have blood transfusion.
Chrons can cause a lot of complications. But at the present mine is in remission. It is not like living was before chrons but I can live with this.
Hope your Vit D is up this time. I go back for testing on the 9th and will let you know where it is now.

I have Crohns and also have a low vit D. Mine is 18 on a 31-100 scale. I take 50,000 2x aweek. I don't know if it has helpled yet because I haven't been retested. I also have low iron and b-12 readings. All those are very common with Crohns.
