In this podcast, we discuss when it may be time to bring in a dietitian that specializes in IBD. We explore different reasons why someone might consider working with a dietitian, including stress related to food choices, nutritional deficiencies, and the need for long-term management strategies. We talk about the significance of feeling safe in one's body, the role of nutrition in managing symptoms, and the common misconception that IBD nutrition is only about tracking your food triggers.

Takeaways-

  • It's crucial to seek help when IBD symptoms are unstable.
  • Stress about food choices can significantly impact well-being.
  • Having a nutritional plan can alleviate stress and improve confidence.
  • Nutritional deficiencies are often overlooked in IBD management.
  • Long-term strategies are essential when managing IBD.
  • Food tracking is not the only solution for managing IBD symptoms.
  • Adding diversity to the diet can help reduce symptoms.
  • Feeling safe in one's body can reduce IBD symptoms.

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 YouTube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc).
