There is promising new relief for people who suffer from digestive issues like IBD, Celiac and Crohn’s Disease. Experts note that these individuals have a special challenge when navigating food choices due to their gut's reaction to different types of food.
During flare-ups, you may not be able to eat much healthy food. That means your body won’t be getting enough healthy nutrition.
When you don’t get enough of certain vitamins and minerals, you have a deficiency that can cause additional and uncomfortable health issues.
Supplements can help, but most of them aren't digestible by patients with this condition.
“It’s a Catch 22” says Brenda Jackson in Dallas who suffers with Crohn’s. “I can’t eat enough food to get the nutrients I need and the supplements cause just as much, and often more damage than the food."
Medical studies have found that Vitamin D can not only improve the overall health of those with Crohn's, but even ease symptoms specific to the disease. Ultimately, finding ways to increase vitamin intake can improve health and quality of life for those with Crohn’s.
