Can I do anything to help the absorption process of vitamins and minerals?
I have had Crohns Disease for over 40 years. Currently I cannot absorb Magnesium, Iron and Vitamin D. Can I do anything to help in the absorption process? I do absorb some vitamins and calories as I can maintain my weight, But I don't gain weight. Any Ideas? Thank you.
I've been struggling with this as well. I read that if you take your vitamins with food it helps. I also did some research on which vitamins to take with what specific types of foods, and what time of the day. It's very complicated but I bet if you have a health food store nearby there could be someone who can help. My health food store has a doctor that works there - I think I am going to visit and ask this exact question. He's been very helpful with finding supplements that don't affect my CD!
I am in the same situation, but I don't absorb anything. Just had my 3rd iron infusion plus b12 shot (monthly). Hugs wish I could help.
I currently work with a holistic nutritionist , and he has done wonders for me, But just can't get these three vitamins and minerals to stick. I am on hi doses of the D3 and Magnesium, and a month after I finish my last Iron transfusion , Iron level will be below normal
Thank you both for your responses! Have a Nice Thanksgiving
