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?

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.

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!

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!

The internet is full of conversation about what to take out of the diet with IBD... but nobody is talking about the things you can add to improve outcomes!

➕In our practice we always encourage our patients to take an "addition mindset" when it comes to their diet. 

In the last 11 years of group private practice - people always leave us surprised at how many foods they thought they couldn't have but NOW can! 

✨It's not magic... it's science and strategy.

.

.

Really Quick... Did you know..... You can watch us discuss this on YouTube too?
.

.
We have even built our own method for helping people expand their diet.

🌈Many people think they have to wait 'until things are settled' to expand their diet... but it's actually the opposite! Diet expansion is one of the tools we use to reduce symptoms and induce remission.

🍵So grab a matcha or hot cocoa and let's settle into a conversation about our favorite IBD friendly foods. 

We created this with you in mind - so you can let go of all of the noise and conflicting information out there. 

As we share on this video - we have found that having an "additive" mindset is truly the antidote to letting go of the chaos and making sustainable, helpful changes to improve your IBD journey.

➡️Remember, if you do need help - we are here for you! We have freebies on our website (see below), e-books, and have just created The IBD Nutrition Collective where you can get a custom plan from us and questions answered!

We do not use the Low Fodmap as a primary way to help those (like us) that have Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis or Microscopic colitis - in fact it can actually hold people back from experiencing symptom relief and even remission. In this video we will unpack that further.

3 Things to Consider Before Considering a Low Fodmap Approach:
🥬It doesn't address inflammation - an important consideration with IBD
🫐It's often done incorrectly which leads to more restriction, more microbiome challenges and poor response to medications (in IBD)
🌈A Low fodmap approach is meant to help you identify trigger types but doesn't explore the complexity of that in IBD and doesn't explore how to build tolerance

When we work with people, we like to be thinking of dietary and nutrition approaches that have evidence for helping you:
⭐Induce remission
⭐Maintain remission
⭐Reduce risk of flare ups

AND when you work with us, we will help guide you through that process and give you tools for how you can reduce symptoms without the frustration of an overly restrictive diet.
