Phil,
~Most of us take folic acid in our vitamin supplementation. It is a very,
very important vitamin (as they all are) and when you are a malabsorption
problem you do not absorb any of them adequately. My book talks about B12
(you should be getting injections) and should be takinga bout 500 mcg (.5
mg) of folic acid daily as well as all the other vitamins I recommend in the
book.
Why didn’t Dr. Katz give you vitamins before?
Yes, eat all the time and use plenty butter, olive oil and bananas and
avocado along with all the other goodies.
Your weight should stabilize as soon as your intestinal function improves.
However, if you continue to lose weight in spite of the diet helping your
IBD, then you may want to choose weight over recovery of health.
