I have UC. My doctor has had me on Folic Acid along with my Mercaptopurine and Sulfasalazine. Does anyone know if their is a need for other vitamin supplements?

Nasal Spray??? I've never heard of that! What is it?

I also take all the same meds you do. I became vitamin B12 deficient and now use a prescription nasal spray instead of shots. Don't know if the length of time you've had UC can make that happen or if it's just an individual thing. Best of luck!

I'm on a folic acid supplement too. The only thing I've found is that I need more potassium and electrolytes cause it gives me muscle cramps. That was the only thing I noticed.

I WAS taking 1 gram of Folic Acid a day per my Dr order. WAS. I recently read of a study that show more then 800 mg of Folic Acid can cause tumor growth and well that just won't do. I'm still taking Folic acid but only 400 mg.
hope this helps sheds some light but i belive more info is needed on the study.

My daughter has CD, however, she too is on Sulfasalazine. She takes folic acid (the meds deplete her natural supply), Omega 3, calcium, multivitamin and d3.
