Jody- You must speak to the nutritionist about these numbers. I had a few

problems with my bloodwork and the nutritionist changed my supplements and

added more. If your D is low,you are most likely absorbing caLCIUM FROM YOUR

BONES. Please speak to your nutritionist. I also gave my nutritioniust a 3

month breakdown of everything I ate so she was ab le to analyze aND TELL ME

Jodi,

Could you let us know what supplements and vitamins you take daily,

if you are religious about it, and what your doc says? Are you

currently taking ADEKs and or Iron? It looks like you need both. As

for the other stuff, don't know what it is, but here are a couple of

great sites to help you figure em all out!
