Mineral Deficiency, not sure what!

Hello all,
I am writing because I have a digestion problem which I believe is due to a lack of certian minerals. A long story but these most recent problems started with me taking vitamin d. Prior to taking vitamin D I did not have many sensitivities at all. Post taking vitamin D my digestion is horrendous. My digestion is so horrendous that in order to not upset my stomach I need to take probiotics (acid) with chlorella (alkaline).
Vitamin D - This stuff wrecks me, 2000 IU's/d was enough to absolutely wreck me. Even 500 Iu's and I am brain fogged I pretty much become dysfunctional for the day if not days after that, and at 26 I have a lot of things to do. Must avoid. My adrenals are shot when I take this, my digestion dies (unformed stool). My stomach acid non-existant. I can't take multi-vitamins due to their vitamin D content. I can't absorb anything and it has had a lasting effect. It i could go back to the past and tell myself one supplement NOT to take it would be vitamin D.
I have IBS and a definite lack of stomach acid. I can't 100mg of magnesium without it disrupting my digestion.
If I take it with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar then it does the trick for absorption. PROBLEM is, I have definitely skewed my mineral balance.
Here is what is most interesting... to me so far... If I take acid supplements of any kind, Betain HCL, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), l-glutathione, N-acetyle cysteine, my energy actually goes WAY DOWN and my stomach acid goes way down as well - sounds backwards yes. This HAS to be a deficiency in something but I can't figure it out. Basically, I have to be careful with any supplement I take now because it could just wreck my digestion - even Iodine shuts down my stomach acid. WTF?!
- I have to take A LOT of salt to balance the magnesium I am taking, that seems to help with my adrenals slightly. I think I was actually getting too much potassium I was crushing water melons so I cut back on those.
- I can't digest citrus or citric acid in the slightest... so lemon juice for increasing stomach acid is completely out of the question, same with orange juice and then any canned or packaged foods with citric acid in it are a no go, as well as any citrate minerals. I really want to figure out what I'm lacking that is causing this citrus reaction as I never used to have it before. Vitamin b5 hasn't done anything for me.
- I am very anxious because of the way I am feeling during the day (very shitty) and used to be able to take lysine to calm me but now it just ruins my digestion.
- Also, I can't tolerate the additives in supplements... Any solution for this?
Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope someone might have some experience or knowledge about what deficiencies might be causing the above symptoms. Could it be as simple as a calcium deficiency?
Thank you again

I feel worse as well when on high levels of vitamin D, so I take it only a little bit at a time.
To counteract the high D3 levels, vitamin A and zinc are needed.
Can you still tolerate green herbs? This is the season to get out in your back yard or the forest and find some edible herbs. Goutweed, nettle, and dandylion leaf are all excellent sources of beta carotene and the chorophyll that is easily absorbed.
If you have vitamin A around, It can help bring back balance.
"""""
vitamin's A & D promote each others receptors
each vitamin (A & D) stimulated the production of its own receptor.
Remarkably, however, vitamin D caused a 3-fold increase in the production of vitamin A's receptor and vitamin A caused a 3-fold increase in vitamin D's receptor!

A short summart: L-form bacteria make a metabolite that locks with vitamin D receptors. Vitamin D is an ANTI INFLAMMATORY nutrient that lowers immune system activity. Flooding it in on top of an infection that is already lowering the immune system means that much of the healing and defensive activities needed by the body for normal function is interrupted.
Newport suggests in his post better nutrients to use to promote the healing effects attributed to vitamin D3.

This is a reply to # 2,320,522You can check your calcium status by checking your urine pH. two hours after putting anything into your mouth.(except water)once or twice per day over a few days will give you an average.
If your pH is always above about 6.5 or 6.6, below 6.3 or 6.2, or moves around a lot that would be an indication of calcium deficiency since calcium is the body's biggest pH buffer.
With as many issues as you have there wouldn't be much question that you are probably severely calcium deficient. So the pH would guide you as to which kinds of calciums would be most helpful to start. Calcium gluconate is a good one especially for young old or sick people and has a neutral effect on pH. I know you can find that as a powder without additives.
The body needs about as much calcium as all of the other minerals combined and should be the first mineral to get right.
Magnesium is a fad. Any quality diet would have greens, and since magnesium is at the heart of chlorophyll, you would be getting plenty of magnesium. Plus it is a much more stable molecule than calcium.
Excess magnesium can cause all kinds of issues including protein depletion, nitrogen deficiency, and potassium deficiency.
Vitamin D's biggest job is to help the body to use calcium. Since you are having problems with vitamin D, that would be another clue that calcium status is off.
Plus vitamin D is very alkalizing and with a low calcium status it would cause alkaline fluctuations in pH. Generally, a urine pH too high would cause constipation, not loose stools but that's not an absolute.
Most people are calcium deficient, but no one should supplement with calcium unless they know their pH status because certain forms can cause more harm than good depending on whether the body leans more acid or more alkaline.
The body needs all forms of calcium and is usually deficient in them all, but by testing urine pH you can see which forms are the most deficient so you can start moving things in the right direction.

This is a reply to # 2,320,522I had a terrible reaction to Vit D until I started taking VIT K. Our bodies are suppose to make Vit K but apparently mine was not. Once on the K2 for awhile the D no longer bothered me. But I am also careful to balance all my supplements. They all work off each other so if you add one you have to add others.

This is a reply to # 2,320,522Comment about additives in supplements.
I buy either pure bulk product on Amazon. No additives. Or I buy capsules and make sure I get the brand with the least additives.
All the basic vitamins and minerals can be purchased pure, in bulk.
