Food, Vit D content (IU's)
===================
Salmon, cooked, 3-1/2 ounces: 360
Mackerel, cooked, 3-1/2 ounces: 345
Tuna fish, canned in oil, drained, 3 ounces: 200
Sardines, canned in oil, drained, 1-3/4 ounces: 250
Orange juice, fortified, 8 ounces: 100
Milk, any fat content, vitamin D–fortified, 1 cup: 98
Breakfast cereal, fortified with 10% of the DV, 3/4-cup to 1-cup: 40–100

Re: Vitamin D Defficiency and Mobility Issues in Old People
Cutting through the crap and personal insults...If the daily recommendation of VitD is somewhere between 600 and 800 IUs which converts to 15 to 20 mg then my 27 isn't deficient.
What the heck?
Just to be clear (now I sound like TM!!) it's a well known phenomenon that many folk have a VitD deficiency today because of constant application of high factor sunscreens, especially children.
Why stating this would cause a personal insult is beyond my understanding.

A trawl through various websites reveals a list of common causes of Vit D deficiency. This is a combined list I've found so far:
I first assume that:
1) You get a reasonable amount of sunshine
2) You're eating a good diet
3) You're not dark skinned
4) You're not preggers and lactating !
So the remaining causes I have read include:
5) Kidney problem that is preventing your body converting the Vit D. So here you DO get enough Vit D but your body struggles to use it and shows up as a deficiency
6) Intestinal disorders that prevent you absorbing Vit D such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, and celiac disease
7) Obeisity, people with a body mass index of 30 or greater often have low blood levels of vitamin D
8) Self-Imposed or Medically Restricted Diets
9) Following Fad or Vegan diets
10) You're taking medicines that interfere with your body's ability to convert or absorb vitamin D
11) Cancer sufferers
I doubt this list is exhaustive in any sense, those are just the common causes you see on most websites.
I can't remember but had half an incling that you might have previously posted about having gluten intolerance issues or did I mis remember that? Might have been another poster.

I don’t have any food fads but avoid foods with MSG as l have a bad reaction to that. I cook all my food from scratch, l never eat ready meals, or drink squash or cola, just plain water and wine occasionally with a meal.
The only trouble l had with my stomach, was last year when l had gallstones.
I always have lots to do in my garden and go out when it’s sunny.

If you asked the internet what has caused your headache you would get a list as long as your arm, but the only way you can find the true cause is by ruling out all the other possibilities.....and the internet cannot do that.
The pills the doctor gave me increased my Vit D levels from 26 (low level) to 57 ( normal) in 12 weeks so anybody, who says they don't work, is a fool in my opinion
