maybe helpful to meet local doc once early even when you are well so they know you and you know them. don't wait till sick. #back2schoolIBD

Try different formulations. Vitamin D rich diet (dairy). Careful sun exposure to increase vitamin D production in skin #back2schoolIBD

If very sensitive to supplements - ensure Crohn's is in endoscopic remission. .Kate H. #back2schoolIBD

sometimes when flare - raw fruits, vegetables, salads may not be well tolerated and you need low fiber diet #back2schoolIBD
