"I'm surprised your doc gave you D2 and not D3.....Anyway, I've never been depressed, but my D level done by the OH25 method was only 18, and I'd heard of others who were taking 5,000 units per day, so this is what I took. A…"

"Thanks for the info. I've also heard that people have like an allergy to aged meats and cheese; especially anything with the nitrites and nitrates in them too. Pepperoni, Salami, etc.

How much Vit D from Fish and Fermented Cod Liver Oil
I recently had some blood work done in part of my search to discover the nutritional root to my depression. Evidently my Vit D was quite low. My general practitioner said it was 19, but I have no idea what that unit is. She perscribed me 1.25 mg of D2. However, just before that blood test (4 days before) I started taking high doses of EPA (4 g/day), which I still take, and now I'm also taking 1.5 g of Fermented Cod Liver Oil each day. I know both of these contain Vit D (along with A) but…See More

Also, his iron has been low in the past, but it hasn't checked for almost a year. Could this be part of what's causing the dark circles?"
Dark circles under eyes?
My almost 3 year old son is on a pretty limited diet due to allergies (wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, cod fish, peanuts and some random vegetables). I have also found he doesn't do well (behaviorally) when he consumes corn, and carrots often seem to cause digestive problems. Lately I've noticed he's developing dark-ish circles under his eyes. I know this is a sign of nutrient malabsorbtion, but I'm not sure which nutrient, or how to fix this. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks, AbbySee More
