Dietitians spilling the tea on IBD

Описание: Spilling the tea on IBD with the top 10 things we want you to know 🫖👇🏻

❗️There is no such thing as the perfect diet. Make strides towards what is sustainable for you and your health goals.

❗️One meal will not lead to an influx of inflammation, much like one meal will not lead to an excess of anti-inflammatory properties. Our dietary pattern - what we eat consistently - can make a big impact on IBD and the inflammatory response in the body.

❗️Play around with the particle size of food! If a spinach salad is irritating to your guts, add spinach to a smoothie - you are decreasing the particle size of it which makes it more tolerable to the guts.

❗️Please focus on what you can add to your day instead of continuously taking things away. This shift can help your happiness.

❗️Is insurance being a pain in the 🍑? Check out Cost Plus to see if your medication is available there!

❗️You will talk about your poop the rest of your life and it does get easier!

❗️Nutrition strategies take time 💜 (so do meds). Be gentle on yourself

❗️Your friends and family won’t always understand.

❗️Medications can be scary, but so can chronic unresolved inflammation. Chat with your healthcare providers if you ever feel uncertain about something. Knowledge is powerful.

❗️IBD can impact your mental health at times - anxiety, low mood and even PTSD can be a part of the journey sometimes. Know you are not alone and don’t be afraid to ask for help and get therapy.
