Vitamin D: A Low-Hanging Fruit in COVID-19?

Vitamin D in patients with COVID-19 has been the topic of a glut of recent research papers, but data are observational and RCTs are lacking. Still, supplementation is not a bad idea, say experts.

Faecal calprotectin looks for inflammation in the bowel & can assess if symptoms are due to a flare or IBS. At-home testing is popular & gives patients more autonomy. It’s easy to use and the results can be shared to the IBD team. . #faecalcalprotectin #selfcare #digitalhealth – at Camden Town, London
