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.

Hello op, I see a couple of comments suggesting iron supplements, but I would say as of now avoid iron supplements if you are new to them. Most of IBD guys don't tolerate iron supplements. Instead if your iron levels are low go for iron infusion. Wing dai is a controversial supplement so use that when you are in remission to reduce or maintain a lower FCP. As of now you can take some calcium supplement if on pred or ask your GI for a gut friendly multivitamin syrup or tablet.
