How important is nutrition with IBD? What is the proper time frame for testing vitamin and mineral levels and at what intervals should they be retested? Should a nutritionist be involved? What is the most common mineral or vitamin that IBD can potentially effect. Is it the illness itself that is the cause or do certain medical treatments and medications hinder adsorption or cause levels to fall?
I am in hopes of having any further information on this topic. As I believe nutrition is very important and would like to avoid further damage if possible.
Thank you!
