Stomach bacteria...
So after all my blood tests vitamin D is low and also a bacteria. I'm now taking 3 pills twice a day for 7 days! Day 4 today and man my stomach is doing flips! Looked at the side effects and I have them all. Nausea, stomach pain, headache..... Hope it does not get worse! Any one else have to do this? They say 50% of the population has this and don't even know!

It's probably H. Pylori. I have seen a few on here that have had it and some needed a few rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it. I sure hope that you can get rid of yours with just the one round. Low Vitamin D in Canadians is common so that one is much easier to get up by taking some vitamins.
Helicobacter pylori is almost ubiquitous in the North American population - som many of us have it (it's actually part of our normal flora) that it's only when it grows out of proportion to the other bacteria and gut organisms that it causes a problem.
Downside - it causes ulcers, and that's something we RNY'ers REALLy can't use!
So yeah - follow the directions carefully. Often antibiotics cause us more trouble than the average Joe.
