  Your Q's: Fiber & "Forcing it" + How Intuitive Eating Can be Tough in IBD

  Oct 3, 202610 min

  In this episode - we discuss your biggest questions about fiber and IBD. When it comes to you and fiber tolerance: We will want to know about the state of your disease - are you in a flare, where is your disease located and what your current tolerance is! That is always the starting point and we can build from there. Keep in mind also - there are many different types of fibers out there and different qualities with each that can actually be used to reduce symptoms. Need a plan for your IBD? We just added an affordable option for people: https://crohns-and-colitis-dietitians.thrivecart.com/ibd-collective/ We also cover: Why intuitive eating strategies sometimes fall short with IBD Just eating what you can tolerate can be dangerous in IBD Fiber's important role in inflammation and symptom reduction Here is what you asked.....

  Is Fatigue Normal in IBD? Or Something to pay attention to

  Sep 25, 20268 min

  The #1 symptom with IBD is fatigue and while some acceptance is important - there are also so many nutrition connections with fatigue that we don't want to completely ignore it either. The most common nutrition related fatigue reasons we see: Not enough intake overall Low diversity & antioxidants Inadequate fluids or electrolytes Nutrient deficiencies like vitamin D, iron, B12, folate etc Nutrient deficiencies treated when low but not retested Hard workouts without adequate pre/post workout fueling If you've had IBD for over 5-10 years - your sense of fatigue may even have become normal so it is important to still keep tabs on these things even if you don't notice fatigue in a traditional sense.

  Is Fiber Ok In An IBD Flare?

  Sep 18, 20268 min

  Is fiber ok in a Crohn's or Colitis flare? The answer might surprise you. There is actually no reputable organization or IBD consensus study/guidelines that suggests restricting fiber in IBD as a blanket approach... in fact it's the opposite! Fiber IS important to help support butyrate production (and inflammation reduction). However, it can trigger symptoms... which is why we want to get more specific with the TYPES of fibers we use and HOW we use them. As dietitians who personally live with IBD and have spent over 15 years working with the Crohn's and Colitis community, we're breaking down the real science behind fiber, your gut microbiome, and why long-term restriction might actually be keeping you stuck. What happens in your gut without enough fiber When your helpful gut bacteria don't have an adequate fuel source, they produce less butyrate — the compound that helps lower inflammation. Less butyrate means a higher chance of inflammation and active disease activity. How low fiber affects your gut's protective lining Without enough fiber, your helpful bacteria can't grow — and some may actually begin consuming your gut's protective mucus lining as a food source. This exposes the inner gut lining and can create an environment where flares are more likely to happen. Why you might feel stuck on a limited diet Sound familiar? "Everything is a trigger for me - I've been stuck on 5 safe foods and feel like I and can't add anything back." This is one of the most common things we hear — and can often be a sign that the gut microbiome is struggling from lack of fiber and diversity. Why adding fiber back — slowly — is often the answer Ironically, the very thing people are avoiding is often what the gut needs most. We walk you through the "low and slow" approach to rebuilding fiber tolerance and why diversity in the diet is so critical for long-term gut health. How Back to Balance Plus can help bridge the gap For those who struggle with fiber due to symptoms and complications unique to IBD - this is exactly why I created B2B- specifically designed to support your gut microbiome without the typical challenges that come with adding fiber back in. You don't have to stay stuck on five safe foods forever. There is a path forward — and it starts with understanding what your gut actually needs. If this helped you, please like, subscribe, and share — someone in the IBD community needs to hear this today!

  Red Flags In The IBD Nutrition Space

  Aug 28, 202627 min

  Do you a red flag when you see it in the IBD nutrition space? Let's talk about it.... The cures, overpromising and the stuff that just doesn't land right. We talk about it from the perspective of an IBD dietitian and IBD patient. We have seen *red flag* nutrition advice like Promises for cures Blaming the person for not following the approach enough Calling fiber being "inflammatory" (fiber is not inflammatory FYI) Encouraging fasting with those that are under nourished already Overly difficult restrictions A long list of supplements recommended that aren't explained fully Encouraging a black and white mindset Utilizing fear within marketing and guidance As patients - we have experienced this ourselves also. Have you experienced any of these? Let us know. Check it out on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BnsmIcARZo Send us Fan Mail Need Support from an IBD Dietitian?

  There is Hope for Expanding Your Safe Foods List

  Aug 21, 202614 min

  Every week we get asked for a food list for IBD that is IBD friendly... and to be honest that's the easy part. We have many resources on this I'll put below. I'm willing to bet that you REALLY ultimately are seeking often goes beyond a simple list. In this video we discuss one of the challenges of just providing a "list" - is that what people actually want to know is what they can have that won't trigger symptoms... Do you know the difference between IBD friendly vs tolerable? Many things are "IBD friendly" & supportive of reducing disease activity but might not be tolerated well. Learn more about the 3 types of triggers HERE & top IBD friendly foods HERE . We already have countless videos, blogs and e-books where we provide lists of all kinds. I'll put our top resources below! If you are looking to get beyond just a list... our e-books great and provide comprehensive & practical next steps. Top Lists in Blog Form ⬇️ ⭐ https://crohnsandcolitisdietitians.com/ulcerative-colitis-food-list/ ⭐ https://crohnsandcolitisdietitians.com/microscopic-colitis-food/ ⭐ https://crohnsandcolitisdietitians.com/top-8-unconventional-ibd-friendly-protein-sources/ The hard part is knowing what to do with the information... When you are highly symptomatic When you have a list of only 5 safe foods When you feel like you aren't truly being nourished by what you eat That's what having a nutrition strategy is - that's what WE help with!
