Lightbulb Crohn's

disease may lead to malabsorption of nutrients.

People with long standing symptoms have inflammation which prevents the small intestine from working normally.

B12 would be affected, along with many other things.
Enteric coated fish oil (not the regular) has shown benefit for healing.
(a new study showed enteric is better)

Chemar, our admin, has information to heal Crohn's that is non-RX-drug
based. Her son has this, and is doing well. I suggest you PM her ASAP.

Much of the PN may be due to 1) nutrient losses, 2) drug induced depletions caused by the drugs used.
For example Neurontin depletes B12. And some of the anti-inflammatories used to treat Crohn's may deplete folic acid.

I would also request Vit D testing. With poor absorption and that Neurontin, you may be very low.
