Have you been tested for IBD? The symptoms can be very similar to IBS-D so it's good to confirm it's been ruled out for you with your doctors. This week I'm joined by Clemmie Oliver, an experienced IBD specialist nutritionist and we talked about :

• What is IBD - different types
• Diagnosis process (especially differences to IBS)
• Different diets for IBD during a flare or remission
• Important nutrients to include & what might be low in people with IBD
• Microscopic colitis - the third type of IBD that often gets missed
