2026/10/03

In this episode - we discuss your biggest questions about fiber and IBD. 💜 When it comes to you and fiber tolerance: We will want to know about the state of your disease - are you in a flare, where is your disease located and what your current tolerance is! That is always the starting point and we can build from there. Keep in mind also - there are many different types of fibers out there and different qualities with each that can actually be used to reduce symptoms. 🎉 Need a plan...

Gut Feelings - by The Crohn"s & Colitis Dietitians ·

2026/09/26

The #1 symptom with IBD is fatigue and while some acceptance is important - there are also so many nutrition connections with fatigue that we don't want to completely ignore it either. The most common nutrition related fatigue reasons we see: 💜Not enough intake overall 💜Low diversity & antioxidants 💜Inadequate fluids or electrolytes 💜Nutrient deficiencies like vitamin D, iron, B12, folate etc 💜Nutrient deficiencies treated when low but not retested 💜Hard workouts without adequate

Is Fiber Ok In An IBD Flare?

Gut Feelings - by The Crohn"s & Colitis Dietitians ·

2026/09/18

Is fiber ok in a Crohn's or Colitis flare? The answer might surprise you. 💙There is actually no reputable organization or IBD consensus study/guidelines that suggests restricting fiber in IBD as a blanket approach... in fact it's the opposite! 💙Fiber IS important to help support butyrate production (and inflammation reduction). However, it can trigger symptoms... which is why we want to get more specific with the TYPES of fibers we use and HOW we use them. 💙As dietitians who personally

💙 3 Reasons You Need to Start Nutrition Strategies During an IBD Flare Up | Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians We know — when you're in the middle of a flare, the last thing you want to think about is food. Eating can feel scary, your symptoms may be overwhelming, and it can feel so much easier on the surface to just keep taking out every food that triggers you. We have talked to several people recently that were surprised to learn that flare ups are when you need nutrition support the ...

Do you a red flag when you see it in the IBD nutrition space? Let's talk about it.... The cures, overpromising and the stuff that just doesn't land right. We talk about it from the perspective of an IBD dietitian and IBD patient. We have seen *red flag* nutrition advice like 🚩 Promises for cures 🚩 Blaming the person for not following the approach enough 🚩 Calling fiber being "inflammatory" (fiber is not inflammatory FYI) 🚩 Encouraging fasting with those that are under nourished alread...

There is Hope for Expanding Your Safe Foods List

2026/08/22

Every week we get asked for a food list for IBD that is IBD friendly... and to be honest that's the easy part. We have many resources on this I'll put below. I'm willing to bet that you REALLY ultimately are seeking often goes beyond a simple list. In this video we discuss one of the challenges of just providing a "list" - is that what people actually want to know is what they can have that won't trigger symptoms... Do you know the difference between IBD friendly vs tolerable? Many thing...

Low Residue Diet and How it Can Backfire

Gut Feelings - by The Crohn"s & Colitis Dietitians ·

2026/08/08

Top reasons why low residue didn't REALLY help you.... Here's the thing - low residue is not recommended as an effective or helpful strategy long term with IBD and can impact your symptoms and risk in the long run. In fact there is no reputable organization that recommends it for IBD because we have decades of research pointing to the importance keeping color and fiber in the diet when it comes to IBD for best outcomes. Instead of taking more things out - when we work with our patients in ...

No one likes doing stool tests... but you might learn to appreciate them after this video. 💩 Fecal calprotectin can be a great indicator of how things are going in the gut short of doing a colonoscopy and if you want to be proactive - you can even use the test to "predict" a flare and get ahead of it before it gets bad! 💩 A fecal calprotectin test can act as a warning signal for flares up to 8 to 12 weeks in advance. 💩 Fecal calprotectin is a protein released into the stool when white

2026/07/11

You might not think of GLP1's would be apart of the conversation when it comes to IBD, but we continue to see more and more people trialing them for secondary conditions with IBD. In practice we have seen people often not inform their providers about GLP1 use - thinking that they do not impact gut symptoms... yet they very much do! When it comes to peptides and other random supplements - when we are in a flare we are often more vulnerable to just wanting to try anything... but it's im...

We do not use the Low Fodmap as a primary way to help those (like us) that have Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis or Microscopic colitis - in fact it can actually hold people back from experiencing symptom relief and even remission. In this video we will unpack that further. 3 Things to Consider Before Considering a Low Fodmap Approach: 🥬It doesn't address inflammation - an important consideration with IBD 🫐It's often done incorrectly which leads to more restriction, more microbiome challenges

It can feel confusing when it comes to figure out food intolerances in IBD - but there is so much more to the conversation that isn't really talked about much online like.... ⏰ Timing - if you are getting symptoms immediately after eating a food (like bloating or racing to the bathroom) it might not actually be the food itself - but it can still be data that we can use to drive nutrition recommendations. 💪🏼 Gut Tolerance - Triggers don't always stay the same.
