This study from Dr. Miller’s team at #UMNPeds contributes to the limited data that exists on growth of children with #FanconiAnemia and will aid in the care of these patients @FAresearchfund

Definitely surprised to learn about this! Good to know that @CrohnsColitisFn is involved in restroom access legislation, and has an app to help find a restroom: https://t.co/sswVVTHIyA

Coverage for medically necessary nutrition is just as important as coverage for medications. It is #TimeforMNEA @NutritionEquity

[NASPGHAN @NASPGHAN]

👏@RepRutherfordFL for speaking up about the importance of medically necessary nutrition for those with digestive & inherited metabolic disorders and how coverage will allow these individuals “to lead healthy lives.” #HR6892 #TimeforMNEA @nutritionequity https://t.co/NpLAKgmHcp

@johnmrosen I did have to ask around, and it’s not something we use here or prescribe. There is a brand name that comes up when I look for it online, but there’s not much info on how to acquire this unfortunately.

[Vikram Christian MD @PedsGIChristian]

TLDR: This retrospective study in @JPGNonline demonstrates the safety & efficacy of oral sucrasomial iron in treating iron deficiency of #pediatric #IBD. Sucrasomial iron=better absorption, less GI side effects. https://t.co/ZVTtrVwxuV

@DGlaucomflecken Formula to treat EoE, IBD, or for kids with oral aversion or other reasons. Kids need to grow and develop, formula is a medicine! Malnourishment is associated with so many bad outcomes.
