[90] Vitamin D treatment may be associated with less ...
Rates of vitamin D deficiency are higher among people with untreated celiac disease, [46] [47] inflammatory bowel disease, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency from cystic fibrosis, and short bowel syndrome, [47] which can all produce problems of malabsorption. Vitamin D deficiency is also more common after surgical procedures that reduce ...

Vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol) is produced industrially by exposing 7-dehydrocholesterol to UVB and UVC light, followed by purification. The 7-dehydrocholesterol is sourced as an extraction from lanolin, a waxy skin secretion in sheep's wool. [189] Vitamin D 2 (ergocalciferol) is produced in a similar way using ergosterol from yeast as a ...
Unlike aminosalicylates, biologics can cause serious side effects such as an increased risk of developing extra-intestinal cancers, [115] heart failure; and weakening of the immune system, resulting in a decreased ability of the immune system to clear infections and reactivation of latent infections such as tuberculosis. For this reason, people ...
Many of the symptoms are due to malabsorption of nutrients due to the effects of bacteria which either metabolize nutrients or cause inflammation of the small bowel, impairing absorption. The symptoms of bacterial overgrowth include nausea, flatus, [5] constipation, [6] bloating, abdominal distension, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, [7 ...
