It was an absolute honor to be able to share all things IBD nutrition this past weekend at @crohnscolitisfoundationla_oc ’s MyIBDLearning event with patients, caregivers and providers ❤️🤩 (swipe to the end for a goodie - credits to whoever that made it!) So much interest and questions from patients on how to manage symptoms, achieve remission and manage ostomy nutrition. Working with a culturally inclusive IBD Dietitian (hi 👋) is key to support + personalize plans with patients! 🥘 First of all, we need legislation and insurances to cover GI nutrition visits, formulas (EEN/PEN) to optimize the power of nutrition in IBD management. The data has been showing this and it’s time to do our patients justice. Secondly, we need more multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized support not just for outcomes, but better patient care EXPERIENCE. We cannot and shouldn’t do IBD care alone. Thank you @crohnscolitisfoundationla_oc for having me!

Share this post with IBD warriors and providers on

Share this post with IBD warriors and providers on the power of nutrition! 🍎 If what we eat does not impact our IBD, we would not have dietary therapies created for IBD, or actually see efficacy in inducing remission. 🤔 Very exciting times for sure, but we also need to balance risk and benefits of implementing dietary therapies with our patients. 🩺 For example, exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is a well established therapy to help induce remission in both pediatric and adults Crohn’s, with newer evidence as an adjunct therapy in acute severe UC. But it may not be appropriate for certain patients after a thorough evaluation and joint discussion. It’s all about the right tool, right patient, right time! Find yourself an IBD care team (👋) that can support you on your IBD journey.

As you are on your journey to figure out your gut

As you are on your journey to figure out your gut issues, know that IBS and IBD is different! Which means treatment and dietary strategies is different too. See red flag for symptoms that differentiate the two conditions and how workup results are different between IBS and IBD. If your IBD is controlled/in remission, but certain foods still seem to bother you, IBS can be a possibility (among other things). There's more data showing that IBS and IBD can co-exist in patients. Or maybe it's not IBS but other etiologies that can cause bowel changes or malabsorption (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bile acid diarrhea, etc) Work with your GI dietitian (like me!) along with other medical team members to help you weed through all these nuances and find what would work for you. If a practitioner is combining or confusing them both because "iTs AlL LeAkY GuT" then maybe run 🚩 Do you have IBS, IBD or both? Let me know in the comments below? 🙋‍♀️
