I currently take vitamin d, iron and c (for absorption) for low levels. I also take 400 mg of b12 for migraines. So far I've had a really good experience with these vitamins and I'm looking to: a) find a multivitamin that works well for crohn's disease patients and b) find new vitamins or supplements that combat fatigue, headache, weakness, crohn's symptoms, etc.

Please share! Thanks!

you need to know what you are deficient in in order to know how to combat the symptoms you are experiencing. however, some symptoms cannot be treated with vitamins (as far as modern medicine knows)

what dose and what kind of iron are you on?
what is you iron/hemaglobin/ferratin levesl/
what is your protein intake like?

I was advised to take a prenatal because it had a good mix of stuff including lots of folic acid and iron. I was not able to tolerate and had to do iron infusion instead
chewable are easier to absorb for many- just make sure they are palatable.

After a bad flare about a year ago my iron levels were very low, hemoglobin was hovering around 10. After a series of iron infusions, iron and hemoglobin went to normal.

I take 45mg of iron to maintain normal levels and tests show I'm maintaining good levels. My protein intake is excellent, perhaps too much.
