A new study has found that Vitamin D, readily available in supplements or cod liver oil, can counter the effects of Crohn's disease. John White, an endocrinologist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, led a team of scientists from McGill University and the Université de Montréal who present their findings about the inflammatory bowel disease in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
This is pretty interesting. I wonder if we need more sunlight, or if supplements can provide what vitamin D is beneficial. It's the middle of winter and most people are not getting a lot of sunlight right now.
Another interesting thing to consider - my favorite food when I am flaring is cereal and milk - milk with vitamin D added.
