Summary

This is a randomized, controlled, unblinded pilot study for patients with vitamin D deficiency in Intestinal Rehabilitation clinic. These patients are not able to absorb oral vitamin D efficiently and thus have a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, leading to low bone density.

The investigators will use FDA approved portable Ultraviolet B lamp for the intervention group, 11 patients will be recruited from October 2013 to end of January 2014 and study period is 12 weeks for each patient. Study completion will be end of April 2014.

Study hypothesis: Ultraviolet B light with a portable ultraviolet device will increase Total 25 hydroxy vitamin D level in Intestinal Rehabilitation Clinic patients.
