Vitamin Deficiancy

by Lisa
(Birmingham, UK)

I have crohns disease and had 30cm of bowel taken away in 2007. I put on a lot of weight taking steriods and kept having water infections and kidney infections and the doctors advised I had a high reading on my liver and they were concerned but they didnt know whatit was, maybe my weight gain, so I lost 2 stone in 6 months and now all my hair is falling out. The doctors took a blood test and found that I had a deficiancy in Vitamin D2 + D3 and give me weekly injections and calcium tablets to chew as well as I am giving myself injections of Humira every 10 days.....I also have a hernia in my diaphram which means I have to take Inexium every day which is beginning to not work anymore, so I am going to suggest another op to repair that to cut down on medication going through my liver, but my question is if anyone can help me, will I have to take vitamin injections for life because I do believe the part of my bowel which was taken away is the part in your body which absorbs these vitamins, no one seems to tell me anything and I just want to take as little medication (because I am scared of my liver problem)as possible?
