Hi
Just got my Vitamin D test result ➡️(Vitamin D, 25-HydroxySERUM39.49) is this too low my Doc says its good and I was also recently diagnoised with Osteopenia. I have IBS-C and would like to know what type of Vitamin D to take that won't cause issues for my IBS-C.
P.s. I had Thyroidectomy 14 months ago (cancer)
Thanks

Your VitD would be better around 100 - so I would supplement with 5000 IU's during winter and re-test in the Spring/Summer. VitD is anti-inflammatory so should be good for your gut. Also take magnesium and VitK2-MK7 as important co-factors. The above link takes you to the website of Dr Myhill who gives sound advice about all the other nutrients needed to prevent osteoporosis - which she considers a lifestyle condition.
Were you prescribed any medication for the osteopenia ? -
The above sites are excellent for VitD information ....
PS I have had Crohns for almost 44 years which is linked to low VitD - just an afterthought 
Not yet my Endo did the bone scan next month I see her.
Did you manage to read the Dr Myhill information in the link above ? If you are prescribed something please research carefully - it is better to improve matters with good thyroid levels and by following the protocol in the link above. Calcium for instance is not involved in the re-building of bone - but in the degradation of old bone - osteoclasts.
If you get Better You vitamin D mouth spray this avoids gut. You can buy 5000iu or 3000iu strength options
Retest twice yearly recommended. Once you reach required level of around 100nmol then you will need a lower maintenance dose. Trial and error what each person needs, and can vary Summer to winter

Detailed supplements advice on Low vitamins, especially vitamin D and how to improve
Unit of measurement is very important when talking about Vit D.
If it is 39.49nmol/L then it needs to be 100-150.
If it is 39.49Ng/ml then the recommended level is 40-60
My Doc emailed me the results I will go pick up the actual results this week I'm.
