Vitamin C status during active and quiescent Crohn’s disease.

Status: Complete Year: 2020 Funded: $15,000 Grant Type: Grant in Aid

Our preliminary work shows that low blood and low urinary excretion of vitamin C is very common in adults with active Crohn’s disease but that vitamin C status improves with nutritional therapy. Vitamin C status once Crohn’s is in remission and patients are again consuming a normal diet is unknown.
