I have osteoporosis caused by my celiac.  My doctor has me taking Forteo.

Before I started taking Forteo, I was taking 49,000 IUs of vitamin D per week.  For reasons that are important (to this story), I stopped taking vitamin D.  But now I've started again.

I started taking vitamin D again on Saturday.  Since Saturday, I have taken 21,000 IUs.

Since this morning, I have felt queasy, and I have a funny, vitamin-y taste in my mouth.

Is this a signal that I should stop taking vitamin D -- that 21,000 IUs is my limit?  Or do people think there's something else going on?

I know that the vitamin D is gluten-free.  It says so on the package.  And, I've never had this problem before.  I should also add that these new, massive doses of vitamin D are the only thing that has changed in my diet.  That makes me pretty sure that the vitamin D has something to do with the way that I'm feeling, but I'm just wondering if anybody has any other ideas or can confirm my suspicion.

Thanks very much,
