Question Hello. I am 31 yrs old and I have Ulcerative Colitis. I take Asacol every day, and I also take a multivitamin. I was wondering if taking NV diet pill would interfere with either of these. I also work out and drink lots of water. Thank You
Answer Hi Hollie,
I would not recommend taking the NV diet pills as it cotnains an herb call hoodia gordonii which suppresses your diet by changing the metabolism of your GI tract. Since you have UC, it is much more important to not disturb the colonic mucosa as it may increase irritation to the colon.
