sometimes when flare - raw fruits, vegetables, salads may not be well tolerated and you need low fiber diet #back2schoolIBD
If very sensitive to supplements - ensure Crohn's is in endoscopic remission. .@KateHudkins #back2schoolIBD

Try different formulations. Vitamin D rich diet (dairy). Careful sun exposure to increase vitamin D production in skin #back2schoolIBD

maybe helpful to meet local doc once early even when you are well so they know you and you know them. don't wait till sick. #back2schoolIBD
Re Q7 - yes, sometimes slow growth could be due to active disease. Important to ensure remission. Also imp to avoid steroids #back2schoolIBD
