Struggling to tolerate foods with IBD?

Описание: ✨ Like if you’ve ever stopped eating a food because it gave you symptoms. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ We’ve been there too, and we totally get it💙

⚠️ However, we want to avoid this mindset long-term because it can lead to:

🌱 Nutrient deficiencies
⚖️ Weight loss
🍽️ Fear of food
📜 A long “can’t eat” list

Here’s one of the solutions… 🪄

💡 Have you ever heard of fibre training?

It’s something we implement with nearly every single person we work with. 🙌 Fibre training is essentially going ‘low and slow’ with new sources of fibre because the gut is a muscle 💪—and it needs to be trained!

Think of it like starting at the gym 🏋️‍♀️. You wouldn’t immediately grab the 75 lb dumbbells, right? Instead, you’d start with a weight you’re comfortable with—maybe 5 lbs—and consistently add more. 🔄

This is what we do with the gut in IBD when fibre training. We don’t jump straight to a gigantic spinach 🥗 salad with berries, nuts, and seeds. We start small—like a teaspoon of ground flax 🌾 or a dollop of nut butter 🥜 in a smoothie. Slowly, we increase the portion and move on to the next fibre source.

✨ It’s simple, but it’s not easy

Working with an IBD-focused dietitian can be a game-changer 🎯. We can help you:

🥄 Know which foods to “train” with first
🛠️ Introduce them effectively
🌈 Reduce food fears from past struggles
🧄 Find helpful swaps (like garlic-infused olive oil instead of fresh garlic) for some people

Rebuilding your gut’s tolerance takes time ⏳, but it’s 100% worth it🌟

And we’re here to support you every step of the way! ✨
