Why We Don't Recommend The Low Fodmap Diet - The science & what it misses the mark on with IBD

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

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 and poor response to medications (in IBD)🌈A Low fodmap approach is meant to help you identify trigger types but doesn't explore the complexity of that in IBD and doesn't explore how to build tolerance When we work with people, we like to be thinking of dietary and nutrition approaches that have evidence for helping you:⭐Induce remission⭐Maintain remission⭐Reduce risk of flare upsAND when you work with us, we will help guide you through that process and give you tools for how you can reduce symptoms without the frustration of an overly restrictive diet.Did you know you can watch this on YouTube?
