Many patients who have been diagnosed with either Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease (collectively referred to as IBD) are in utter disbelief of their diagnosis. This is especially true, since there is no cure for these diseases, and they affect people in the prime of their lives.

“What can I do to help treat my Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis beyond standard medical management? Is there anything I could be doing to protect my gut?"
Patients are keen to empower themselves with information to self-manage their disease.
Doctor, what should I eat? This remains one of the most commonly asked questions by patients with IBD. Many of you may have heard that there is no one specific diet that has been proven to work for every patient with IBD. However, the medical literature is rapidly evolving, and in the 21st century, we can confidently say yes to diet! Dietary solutions to IBD treatment are on the horizon. Furthermore, we know that other environmental components may affect the course of your IBD. In particular, stress, depression and anxiety can make your symptoms worse. Diet, stress, and mental health are not routinely addressed in medical visits. However, these are critical components to see improved disease control.
