When should I start to worry about “short bowel syndrome” and problems with poor nutrient absorption?

Name and address withheld I’m sorry to hear about your Crohn’s disease. You should discuss the question of poor nutrient absorption with your doctor who can arrange for you to have the appropriate blood tests, and then if there is any need, will know what supplements you should be receiving and the methods by which they should be delivered. The reassuring news is that it is amazing how much of the small bowel can be removed without trouble, but you are right to bear this in mind and to talk about it with your advisers.
