Can having low vitamin D levels cause weight gain, even though I eat a healthy diet, exercise six days a week, and take Folitrax 12.5mg once a week for rheumatoid arthritis?
Yes, low vitamin D levels can play a role. Vitamin D is essential for a healthy metabolism, energy levels, and muscle function; deficiency can make losing weight much more difficult. Your weekly Folitrax (methotrexate) is crucial for managing your rheumatoid arthritis, and while it doesn't typically cause weight gain, active inflammation from arthritis can sometimes affect your weight. I highly recommend discussing a vitamin D supplement with your doctor to help bring your levels back to normal, which may support your health and weight goals.
