Supplements for Crohn's/Colitis/IBS - The Brand I Swear By - Garden of Life

If you have Crohn's UC IBS or any digestive issues, you probably don't absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat.  You have to supplement with a good product that will make up for what you lose in your food.  Also, if you have to adhere to a strict diet, limited diet, you may not even consume some of the foods that nourish and provide you with the needed vitamins and minerals that you need to keep your body functioning to the best of it's ability.    

Garden of Life is by far, one of the best supplement/vitamin/herb companies out there.  They are one of the few brands that provide ORGANIC supplements.  Have you noticed that it's very rare to find good vitamins that are organic?  I never used to look for organic until I refuse to put anything that isn't organic into my body.   I'm posting what I take from them that works great and am able to tolerate.  My body is sensitive to supplements, so finding a brand that my body can handle is a process of trial and error. Hope you find this helpful :)

The Vitamin Code - Healthy Blood: I need iron, but have never been able to tolerate oral iron at all.  This doesn't irritate my digestive system or give me any problems. Works great.  

Vedolizumab, A New Treatment for Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn's Disease Looks Promising - Info & Clinical Trial Included

Vedolizumab, a potentially new treatment for UC and Crohn's disease is being fast tracked for review by the FDA.  The BLA (biologics license application) will give priority review to the ulcerative colitis application and standard review to the Crohn's disease application.
The part of the clinical trial that is most important to me is the said adverse effects that were found in the patients who participated in the study.  Based on the concluding trial results, the adverse effects of the drug is said to be the same as the placebo.  That's great news.  I'm going to continue to watch this drug for new updates and news pertaining to safety. So far, this new treatment by Takeda Pharmaceuticals looks promising.
I have also included the clinical trial abstract below.
