Novadays i have bought more kind of supplement and vitamins( fe.: e vitamin in oil) and i checked the content of them.
And i i dont know except the main agent what kind of other materials, ingredient i should avoid because of my uc.
Forexample i found in grape seed extract silicium oxid... i dont have any information it is good or not to me.

But very regular ingredient is in more supplement the nodular inhibitor.
I feel that more kind of material irritate my bovel.

ubfortunatelly iron also cause irritation... but i should take some iron pills because my brain is not working well and i am tired sometimes...

Iron supplementation is only necessary if you are anaemic or have low ferritin, as confirmed by blood tests. Fatigue can have lots of causes.
I don't take iron tablets as they can aggravate UC but have been fine with ferinject infusion. But, this is expensive & has to be authorised by a doctor.

I take DEVA vegan multivitamins with iron and they've never irritated my gut.

Probably because the iron content in multivitamins is much lower than a specific iron supplement

I was replying to the OP, not your response. However, my multi provides 100% of the recommended daily iron intake.

. If you have to take oral iron only take it as a standalone where it does not include any other vitamin or mineral to it. Even if it says 100% RDA the absorption will be way too low for someone with anemia and your iron absorption most likely will get impaired by the other things included.

Infusions are the best to bring it up quickly if your Hgb is very low. I find oral iron very tough on the gut too and avoid it altogether.

Regarding fillers in supplements this is a very good question. I would like to know too. I know anything with Titanium Dioxide should be avoided altogether but mostly all supplements will have some filler or the other. I have a grape seed extract supplement with only magnesium Stearate to it but found it quite rough on the gut for me and stopped even though it is a low dose of 100gm . Perhaps grape seed extract is not for everyone.
