Top 3 Nutrition Things Holding IBD Patients Back

from Gut Feelings - by The Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians · host The Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians

As IBD patients, we know that there are many things we have to navigate. From trying to figure out what foods we can add, to getting enough nutrition, to figuring out if supplementation is needed. It's a lot!  We want our listeners and patients to feel empowered with knowledge and feel confident in their food choices with IBD. Takeaways-- Dietary tracking is helpful in some situations but it is not our first strategy when working with IBD patients.- Foundational nutrition is prioritized over strict dietary tracking.- Not consuming enough diverse foods can increase malnutrition risk.- Lifestyle factors significantly influence IBD symptoms.- Strict diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies and fear of food.- Confidence in food choices improves with proper support and education.- Supplement use should be strategic and well-informed.- Natural does not always mean safe; supplements can have side effects.Chapters-00:00- Introduction to Nutrition Challenges in IBD04:56- The Pitfalls of Strict Diets for IBD10:11- The Importance of Supplement Strategy in IBDSend us Fan MailNeed Support from an IBD Dietitian?🌟Work with us hereOne-on-One Coaching🌟Affordable MembershipIBD Nutrition CollectiveWant our Top E-books?🌈Get our top e-book hereFlare Guide + Meal PlanFor Sensitive Guts & Symptom Relief🌈We developed a product for youBack to Balance PlusSupport our Growing YouTube by Subscribing🎊Subscribe to YouTubeWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.
