I'd love your thoughts on nutrition and kids with Crohns. My son has lost a kilo recently, he is due for blood tests next week so fingers crossed they come back as good as the last ones.
He is so thin, we are staying away from problem foods, even though he is in remission, like nuts, corn, skins on foods, hard fruits etc, but he doesn't have a big appetite, I'd love to know how you deal with your kids and their nutrition. What do you give them to boost them and to try to add weight on?
Also do you give them vitamins or supplements, I have no idea where to start with this? We are having alot of iron rich foods etc but if he isn't absorbing atm, it's a problem. Its such a worry...
