Top reasons why low residue didn't REALLY help you....

Here's the thing - low residue is not recommended as an effective or helpful strategy long term with IBD and can impact your symptoms and risk in the long run.

In fact there is no reputable organization that recommends it for IBD because we have decades of research pointing to the importance keeping color and fiber in the diet when it comes to IBD for best outcomes.

Instead of taking more things out - when we work with our patients in a flare up - we focus on modifying gut friendly foods that trigger symptoms and focus on slow advancements in the diet.

Did you know when you take this approach - your gut bacteria actually get better at breaking down foods and symptoms can reduce with time?

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 YouTube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). 

Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually improve what we offer to you on all of these platforms!
