Hi :)

I have just started taking Folic acids and have stopped my contraceptive patch last month. I have Crohn's disease and I had two major abdominal surgeries in 2013.

Are there any other vitamins you would recommend to make my over all body healthy and prepared for family planning?

Thanks in advance :)

A Naturpathic Doctor might be able to guide you on this one. They are very informed about supplementation/vitamins, etc.
You might have different suggestions, but when I was pregnant, I was told to take a good quality multi vitamin; calcium-magnesium; iron; vitamin c; vitamin E, flax seed oil. Of course, this may be different for you. Also, you will be guided on the best times to take these as one supplement may cancel the other out if taken at the same time (as in Iron and Vitamin E) and some work better together (as in Vitamin C and Iron)....

Good luck!

Thank you sooo much for your feedback! I will definitely make a doctors appointment soon. I've put in an order for a multivitamin and some folic acid spray to get me started :)
