I'm on a vitamin D3 60K tablet once a week as recommended by my doctor, but about three weeks in, I've started having some stomach gas issues. Any ideas on how I might be able to minimize these side effects? Would really appreciate any guidance on this!

Gas problem in the stomach can be a common side effect of taking vitamin D3 supplements. To reduce this side effect, you can try taking the vitamin D3 supplement with food. This can help to minimize stomach irritation and reduce the likelihood of experiencing gas. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If the gas problem persists, you can also try over-the-counter simethicone medication to help alleviate gas and bloating symptoms.
