A member asked:
Is it okay to take albumin and calcium supplements during an ulcerative colitis flare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Calcium supplements often thicken the stool, so may be beneficial during a flare. Not sure that albumen will even make it through the GI tract to the colon, so probably not helpful, but not harmful either. Backing down to a low residue diet, with low fats also may help decrease movements and irritation.
