Another week, another episode! Your hosts are picking up where they left off on the topic of IBD and today, it’s all about ulcerative colitis (UC). In this episode, they first answer another listener’s question about colonics before taking a deep dive into the medical and lifestyle aspect of this chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This episode covers:

• What we currently know about the development of ulcerative colitis
• Signs and symptoms that may point to UC
• The diagnostic process Wagdy implements with patients
• The 3 dietary goals Sandra works on with her clients: symptom control, addressing inflammation then gut restoration to address microbial diversity
• Probiotics and UC
• What to consider if you plan to get pregnant and more…

This episode concludes their 2-part series on inflammatory bowel disease and while yes, they were highly specialised topics, listeners need to educate themselves on prevention, management upon diagnosis and a reminder to ensure you have the right support team to live a wholesome life with a chronic illness. Always consult your medical team before making any changes to your diet and never change your medical plan without the consent of your specialists.
