All The Things Nutrition from an IBD Gal Herself: an Interview with Brittany Roman-Green
In today’s episode of The Real Life Show: Living with a Chronic Illness, we talk all things nutrition with the very knowledgeable Brittany Roman-Green. This is her journey to becoming a registered dietician through her diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis (UC), IBS and the rare Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). Don’t worry though, Brittany goes into describing the difference between IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (inflammatory Bowel Disease); for which she has both. At the time of her UC diagnosis in High School, Brittany got interested in how her diet could effect her symptoms through the Nutrition class offered at her school. This carried over to wanting to learn more through her college classes as well. Throughout college, Brittany changed up her diet, experimenting with fruits and veggies to see what her triggers were. Although diet is a huge part of managing her chronic Illnesses, and what she eventually made a career out of, Brittany explains how caring for her mental health in recent years has made the biggest impact. Listen to this uplifting episode to hear how Brittany implemented these daily stress management tools, like mediation and diaphragmatic breathing.
