Reply to comment by moneymachinegoesbing in Vitamin D deficiency linked to premature death. Over a 14-year follow up period, researchers found that the risk for death significantly decreased with increased vitamin D concentrations, with the strongest effects seen among those with severe deficiencies. by Wagamaga

My gastro didn't inform me that the medication he prescribed for GERD would inhibit vitamin D absorption in the gut, and he was my gastro for almost 20 years. I wasn't screened for vit d deficiency until I was 40, and my NP caught the deficiency. I should have been screened much sooner.
