The Confident Clinician Podcast

FODMAP and The Nutrition Placebo-Effect in Inflammatory Bowel Disease


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Jordan Robertson shares the content we covered this month inside The Confident Clinician Club IBD module. She shares a new study published in 2022 on the Low FODMAP diet, and the impact that what patients "expect" their diet to do on their subjective symptoms. 

Melgaard et al exposed patients to a FODMAP or placebo provocation after improving patients symptoms with a low-FODMAP diet and showed the impact of how patients expected themselves to feel after a food exposure and their symptoms. 

We also covered

  • Why medical doctors are concerned about patients working with integrative practitioners and changing their diet. 
  • The limitations of the nutrition research on IBD and where we may want to borrow from IBS literature. 
  • The impact of the placebo/nocebo effect on patients with IBD. 

If you're a member of our listener community, we want to invite you to join our free maternal mental health event happening in January. You can sign up for the workshop with our expert cilnicians here.
