Supplement Ingredients

[Elitepete]

Hi fellow Chrohnies,

I take a lot of different supplements for a lot of different reasons. However, figuring out trigger ingredients in the supplements has been a complete nightmare :ymad: Anyway, I was hoping someone knows some resource that would have information about this topic (like a list of ingredients that are known triggers).

Also, I would appreciate if you guys can tell me about ingredients you've found to be triggers for you and what supplement companies you tend to use. Thanks! :ghug:

We don't know enough about crohn's to know what specifically may trigger the illness. What may be a trigger for you may not be one for me. It's also hard to pinpoint and know if something is a trigger or not.

One ingredient in supplements is carrageenan which has been discussed a lot on the forum. It is believed by many to be a possible cause or irritant for those with IBD.
