She also works on several national and international research projects in the field of IBD and actively participates in academic discussions, webinars, and publications related to the disease.

In this conversation we discuss:

•  Dr. Gros' journey of creating an educational resource for IBD patients and healthcare professionals. 
• Dr. Gros' passion for research and education in the field.  
• the complexities of bile acid malabsorption, its implications for IBD patients, and  how to differentiate it from flare-ups
• the impact of bile acid malabsorption on the gut microbiome, and the interactions between gut bacteria and the mucus layer
• the extraintestinal manifestations of IBD and how IBD is a systemic disease, not just a bowel condition.
• the importance of understanding the systemic nature of IBD and the need for comprehensive patient care is emphasized.

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us.

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to you tube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually level up what we do here.
