Top 3 things to do in a flare

We understand that IBD flares are a really difficult place to be. In this podcast, Ashley and Christa discuss the top three things to consider for patients experiencing flare-ups from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). 

We emphasize the importance of maintaining nutrition, managing symptoms, and understanding triggers during flare-ups. The conversation also highlights the significance of a good hydration and electrolyte balance, as well as resources and support available to patients.

Takeaways-
- It's important to prioritize nutrition during flare-ups.
- Regular meal patterns can help manage caloric intake.
- Supplemental drinks can bridge nutritional gaps.
- Hydration and electrolytes are crucial during active flare-ups.
- Identifying triggers can help manage symptoms effectively.
- Nighttime symptoms can be particularly disruptive.
- Adding beneficial foods is as important as removing triggers.
- Resources like our flare guide can provide structured support. 
- Seeking support is essential for managing IBD and flares.

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.
