River: The connection I needed?

[mdlbear]

Is this the causal link I was looking for to explain my mood shift?

It seems that coeliac disease is linked to vitamin D malabsorption (also calcium and vitamin B12, which I've been taking supplements for), which in turn is linked to SAD and depression.

OK, vitamin D supplements and no more gluten. We'll see if those work. Thanks to all the friends who helped me make the connection, especially dormouse_in_tea and mia_mcdavid.

*nod* my current dose as of a couple of days ago is 1200 IU: 400 from daily vitamins, and the rest from 400IU tablets taken morning and evening.

I've seen tablets up to 1000IU in Safeway.

I need to check what's in my multivitamin... I hate milk, except as an ingredient, and how much vitamin D would I get if I baked a cake containing 1 cup of milk and then ate a slice of cake? And I don't get very much sunshine - the Purple-Haired Fruitbat's habits are entirely nocturnal.
