  • Title: Vitamin and zinc status pretreatment and posttreatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
    Author: Santucci NR, Alkhouri RH, Baker RD, Baker SS.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 2014 Oct; 59(4):455-7. PubMed ID: 25000354.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin deficiencies are common in inflammatory bowel disease. Here we present 5-year follow-up data of 61 patients. No folate or vitamin B12 deficiency was identified throughout the study. A daily multivitamin supplement was sufficient to replete 100% of vitamin A-deficient and vitamin E-deficient patients. A total of 52% of vitamin D-deficient patients corrected, but 15% who had normal vitamin D levels at diagnosis developed deficiency. A total of 63% of zinc-deficient patients normalized their zinc status, but 15% developed zinc deficiency at follow-up despite supplementation.
