Besides your normal medicine, do you give your child any other supplements? I've been reading up on some and would like to try some. In addition to our usual multi vitamin, 2000iu of vitamin D,and folic acid, we've recently introduced fish oil.
Other supplements I've read about but not sure about quite yet are aloe Vera juice, teaspoon of olive oil a day, turmeric, probiotic....
Going to stick with fish oil for a few weeks before introducing anything new and will of course talk to GI before introducing anything new. Just wondering what you all do as far as natural supplements and if it's helped or not.
PS: my son is also on remicade every 5wks, and methotrexate. And overnight feeding tube for supplemental nutrition (750 calories overnight). We recently got rid of his pentasa. And he also takes growth horomone injections so he's already got quite a lot of things going into him
