Recently I asked my doctor about testing for vitamin E absorption issues and drew a blank. I have been reading (the link below) http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2383.htm and other sources and they say that there are no obvious signs of deficiency but>>>> Short-bowel syndrome may develop from intestinal pseudoobstruction, surgical resection, or mesenteric vascular thrombosis. Only after 10-20 years of malabsorption do neurologic symptoms become clinically apparent. Vitamin E can be injected in a water soluble form. I’m wondering why it doesn’t seem to be an issue with IBD?? John

Not much is ever mentioned about nutrition being a factor with this disease yet…even though science has shown free radical damage to be a part of IBD.
