Approximately two months I started taking vitamins again. I’m not normally a vitamin or supplement taker, but because I have Crohn’s disease I do have malabsorption problems and I do have deficiencies that show up on occasion when I have blood work done.
I also started taking Biotin because the migraine medication I’m taking is really an anti-convulstant and anti-convulsants are notorious for making people lose their hair. Biotin helps with hair and nail growth, so I figured to be on the safe side I’d start taking Biotin and other B vitamins before a problem like hair loss started. Plus as I said I do have deficiencies like low folic acid and iron levels, and I’ve been battling vitamin D deficiency for 2 years.
I even talked my husband into taking vitamins again.
Now I just need to find a place to get vitamins and supplements at good prices. I’m currently checking out a site that sells vitamins online . I just have to find out if they ship to Canada.
Do you take vitamins or supplements? I know, if you have a good balanced diet you might not have to take vitamins regularly, but I have a chronic disease that affects my digestive tract so it actually makes sense for me to take vitamins.
I was so happy this week as I finally found a way of giving vitamins and omega 3 oil to my 3 year old who does not like to eat a lot of different foods! 🙂
He accepts a syrup of fish oil from seven seas (merck) with added vitamins. It tastes like orange, it says. And we give the 5ml to him in a syringe (no needle of course) that he puts in the mouth and swallows the syrup.
Finding true health with vitamins will be tough. I do suggest Krill oil.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave but I’m allergic to shellfish and I think Krill is shellfish so I’d better stay away from that!
I take Biotin on a daily basis. Twice a day actually. I find that it really helps with my skin and my makes my hair look healthier. I only by my vitamins online because you get the best price.
Yes, B-vitamins are so important because Crohn’s Disease really drains your system.
Even though my Crohn’s symptoms are gone, I still take this great product right now.
I have found a fantastic B-Vitamin that I have been taking that helps tremendously :
It’s called, Daily Energy B Complex.
This is a high potency B complex capsule that does wonders for me.
It keeps my blood sugar under control and mood swings. I have to take 2 with each meal.
They have been the best vitamin product I have bought so far.
