Low vitamin D, questions

[JennyCoulon]

<p>Both of my boys were also told they had low Vit D. They said to try and get about 15 mins. of sun one a day if possible without sunscreen. They also told us we should start them on Vit D supplements. They have chewable ones at Walmart that are good for both by 6 yr. old and my 11 yr. old who can't swallow pills. I believe this is part of the CF but we were also told that a lot of people within the past year have been low on Vit D. Hope this helps...

DS takes two Source CF chewables per day, plus gets Vitamin D from his milk, carnation instant breakfast and spends a lot of time outdoors -- albeit with sunscreen. Last year his Vitamin D levels as well as A, E, K were fine, D being exceptional. So we'll find out next month if that was just a fluke as everyone seemed surprised although they've never been low in the past.
