Culture & Food in IBD with Neha Shah, RD

In this episode we talk with Neha Shah, a Registered Dietitian specializing in GI and IBD for close to 20 years. Neha runs her own IBD nutrition private practice, aiming to provide specialized care to the community and she also offers a subspecialty in South Asian GI and IBD. 

We discuss:

• Neha's background and how she got into specializing in GI nutrition
• The relationship between culture and food and how to navigate that when a patient has IBD
• What food culture is and how it plays a role in our food choices
• How dietitians can show more cultural sensitivity and cultural competence
• How a patient can navigate diet around religious observances, such as fasting, and holidays within the culture, such as Diwali
• Including more cultural fibers into diet
• Weight inclusive approach

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us.

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to you tube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually level up what we do here.
