A gentle reminder...

When a person has an inflammatory bowel issue, many nutrients do NOT get absorbed normally.

Malabsorption may lead to more symptoms from the loss of nutrients.

One that stands out for me, considering the new information out now about pain...is Vit D. You can be tested for this, and many are taking advantage of that.

Another nutrient that helps with pain is magnesium.

Also, malabsorption has affected B12 levels in many patients.
People with Celiac are often very low in B12. Low B12 damages nerves.

So, please consider that you may find some relief/improvement if you are low in some nutrients because of your Crohn's.
