    Low Residue Diet and How it Can Backfire

    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 a flare up - we focus on modifying gut friendly foods that trigger symptoms and focus on slow advancements in the diet. Did you know when you take this approach - your gut bacteria actually get better at breaking down foods and symptoms can reduce with time?

    Can You Actually Predict a Flare? + How we use Fecal Calprotectin

    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 blood cells enter the intestinal wall - A rising or persistently high level indicates active mucosal inflammation, even if you feel completely fine. 💩 We use fecal calprotectin in our practice to understand better as to what's going on in the gut and if your symptoms are being driven by inflammation or something else. 💡It can be very helpful for both your GI and dietitian in terms of understanding what your next treatment steps should be! We run this marker in our practice for patients and also do in depth nutrient panels to get to the bottom of what's happening and formulate a more effective nutrition treatment path.

    GLP-1's, Peptides, Random Supplements & Things to Consider

    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 important to exercise caution and make sure what you are taking has good evidence and is safe.  Make sure to talk to your GI and dietitian about what's right for you. Also, if you find your GI doesn't have time or doesn't want to discuss your nutrition with you... we get the frustration. Yet, it's also often just not a top priority or within the scope of practice for your GI session (especially in only 15-20 minutes).  Quite honestly... there is so much to unpack when it comes to that topic... tacking it on as a question at the end isn't going to get you anywhere.  Plus... this is why dietitians (like us) exist!  Send us Fan Mail Need Support from an IBD Dietitian? 🌟Work with us here One-on-One Coaching 🌟Affordable Membership IBD Nutrition Collective Want our Top E-books? 🌈Get our top e-book here Flare Guide + Meal Plan For Sensitive Guts & Symptom Relief 🌈We developed a product for you Back to Balance Plus Support our Growing YouTube by Subscribing🎊 Subscribe to YouTube We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

    Focus on what you can ADD in + Surprise new offer!

    Focusing only on what to cut out of your diet - might actually be making things worse. But hey... we have ALL been there too.  🍅And yet the conversation online is all about what to take out of the diet - and doesn't all discuss what we need to ADD to improve outcomes. 🍓Your gut microbiome depends on diversity, color and fiber.  🥑The very things that are often most difficult for those with IBD... yet... there is a path and a science to building tolerance with foods.  💪Think of your gut microbiome as a muscle - the more you support it - the more your gut gets better at fermenting fibers which means - LESS symptoms and more foods tolerated.  🥦That means your list of "no way" foods doesn't have to stay that way. And there is a science to HOW you add foods in that can also make it easier. This is one of many things we help people with. ➡️Ever wonder why everything you see online is so conflicting? First off it's not catered to YOU and where you are at. If you are wanting a customized to you plan and a place to ask questions at an affordable price point - we just created exactly that!  This is for those who are... Want next steps & place to ask questions but you are too busy and want things to be on your time and at a low cost.... this is THAT. Sound perfect? Sign up before we fill up! ➡️Check it out here: https://crohnsandcolitisdietitians.com/ibd-collective-membership/ We still offer other ways to work with us - but we thought summer would be the perfect time to drop this hot offer!
