Oftentimes the word IBS and IBD are thrown out there interchangeably with no real context or understanding. In reality, while there are many similarities between the two, there are also differences, and this extends to the way IBS and IBD are treated.
In today’s episode, I am talking to Neha Shah, a registered dietician, a certified nutrition support clinician, and a certified health education specialist that has been specializing in gastroenterology, gastrointestinal and liver health for the past 15 years. Neha is an expert in the field, and she breaks down some things to think about with these conditions from a medical side, but also from a practical nutrition application side.
During our conversation, Neha talks about how she became a specialist in gastroenterology and digestive disease, the difference between IBD and IBS, the role food plays in managing inflammation, and what treatments are available for patients.
In this episode, we cover:
Neha's journey to getting into gastroenterology and digestive disease There is a science behind nutrients and the GI tract The difference between IBD and IBS Is remission in IBD possible? Similarities between IBS & IBD and the role food plays Diet misconceptions regarding IBS and IBD Approaches to treatment and management for IBS and IBD What role do fiber and other diets play?
