Hi there. Blood tests says I have low vitamin D. Anyone else with IBS have the same? Are they connected do you think?

I'm wondering the same. Not sure if the low vit d is causing the ibs but I think it isn't helping. Going to take a supplement.

I recently saw an article in the ‘i’ newspaper, saying that the two may be linked, according to research.

You could try Googling it?

I found out I had low vit D 4 years a go when I had my annual diabetic review. I developed IBS a few years after diabetes. So I kind of link it to both.

My GP has prescribed Vitamin D3 after a blood test said I was very low on vit D, always wondered whether there was a connection
