How to prevent a suspected incoming flare

My 16yo knows if he avoids chocolates and sweets his body is under control.the minute he eats within a few days he gets cysts on face.

So my son ate some bars without my knowledge. I suspected when is otherwise clear face developed cysts and there was some change in his behaviour (I have noticed when he stays away from choc n stuff he's calm ,provokes others less).I repeatedly asked if he ate anything..his right side abdomen was also slightly hurting n he had a somewhat 'loose-ish' motion.

Now I came to know he indeed ate..so how can I prevent his body to flare. Am concerned as this month end we are flying to attend a wedding.i want him to be in perfect health. Should I switch to soft diet?

How many years before it was diagnosed

Before getting it diagnosed how many years did u all suffer?like u knew there's some issue but couldn't exactly pinpoint it.

As for my 16yo ,it happened after covid ended..atleast once a year he would have stomach issues. Mostly diarrhoea..got hospitalised multiple times..the regular antibiotics antacids but each year it would happen.. this year in march it was diagnosed first as UC then in Aug as crohn

Tips to improve vision

My 72yo mother has snd she's taken injections .it helped to some extent but Dr's are thinking of stopping it as there's no improvement (she took around 6 injections I think).

Shes not able to type properly.she doesn't express her difficulties but am sure it's hindering her daily activities. Any supplements or anything that can help.we stay in india btw

Multivitamins?

Hi

Apart from medicines which vitamins/minerals do you take.i have heard a lot about vit D.am worried about calcium as hes not supposed to consume dairy products. He also has psc of liver so I don't want to burden his liver with more supplements (will reconfirm with his dr)
