Managing Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease with a Licensed Nutritionist

Living with irritable bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can be a challenge to many individuals. Being diagnosed with IBD can cause physical and mental exhaustion, and confusion about what to eat and how to cope with flare-ups, thus leading to frustration and disappointment. Working with an integrative nutritionist to develop an easy-to-follow custom anti-inflammatory gut healing diet and supplement protocol can be a powerful way to manage the symptoms of IBD.

Gut healing starts with a diet that is tailored to the individual and their specific needs. Foods that are helpful in reducing inflammation are typically high in antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and soluble fiber. Focusing on nourishing your body with nutrient-dense whole foods can have a significant impact on decreasing the symptoms of IBD. Furthermore, specific dietary supplements can be very helpful in further reducing inflammation in the body.

In addition to dietary and supplement modifications, discussing lifestyle changes that may be helpful in managing the symptoms of IBD can also help reduce symptomology. Integrative nutritionists are also knowledgeable in stress management techniques, which can be implemented in order to maintain balance and reduce inflammation in the body.

An integrative approach to managing IBD symptoms involves incorporating both dietary and lifestyle changes in order to support the body on the path to healing. Working with an integrative nutritionist can not only give you peace of mind but also help you to move forward in the journey toward better health.
