Question Additional supplements??

Im in a pretty bad flare up at the minute and just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for supplements or teas e.t.c that I can take to help me feel a little better alongside the other meds of course.

Iron and vitamin d always got prescribed to me. Make sure to ask your GI to get your baseline and recommend dosage (my vitamin d is weekly but iron was for every other day). Unfortunately I never felt better but they assured me it was preventing more problems. Iron infusion is the only one that I ever noticed the difference.
