Supplements

[Nic3011]

Just wondering if anybody has a problem taking multivitamins, probiotics etc. either in tablet or liquid form? I think my crohns flares a bit when I take these however have been told it is important that I have them.

I don't think it'll be the multi-vits causing any flare ups, probiotics might though. I don't really think those are that important though, but maybe I'm wrong

Do you take it with food?

I don't take my multi with food but do take my cal/mag/d with food.

I take gummy vitamins..the kids ones. Yup!

Vitamin tablets seem to upset my stomach. I know any with iron in often cause constipation, but for me it seems any vitamins worsen diarrhoea. I never found probiotics to be beneficial in any way, though I don't remember them giving me any problems either.

I can only have iron injections. If I have tablet or liquid form I end up hospitalised. I thought I was going crazy because it seems that most people with crohns take supplements and although I know everybody is different with what they can and can't have, I hadn't come across anybody that was the same.

I would try and take your multivitamin with food, might make it easier to digest! If not, you may have to try a different kind of multi - some people can't tolerate iron in theirs.

For me, probiotics are very helpful so if you can keep taking them I would suggest you try!
