A member asked:

Does omega 3 & probiotic supplement help in crohn's, also person should eat low or high fiber diet ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crohn's: A gastroenterologist is best qualified to answer your questions. Probiotics may be worth taking in inflammatory bowel disease and omega 3 oil shouldn't hurt. If diarrhea is a prominent symptom, I recommend avoiding harsh roughage but taking soluble fiber like metamucil may help firm up stools.

Dr Iwata and 3 doctors agreed
