Hair and skin are an excellent way to detect someone’s overall health. If nails are brittle and break easy and hair starts thinning or falling out in clumps, this may be a sign of malnutrition, which is a common symptom of Crohn’s disease. Many medications used to treat Crohn’s disease also cause the hair to fall out. Taking a multivitamin or B-complex may help restore hair and nail health. However, if a flare is present, seek medical treatment first as multivitamins may not be absorbed until the inflammation and infection are under control.
