We share our thoughts on the recently updated food pyramid. It's important to keep in mind that general recommendations for the public do not always apply to IBD patients! There are some key aspects to this that we want to share about IBD nutrition so it doesn't seem more confusing!

- Not all dietary guidelines are applicable to individuals with IBD.
- Socioeconomic factors significantly impact access to healthy food.
- Chronic disease management requires a nuanced understanding of individual dietary needs.
- Plant-based proteins remain important in dietary recommendations for IBD patients

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.
