💙 3 Reasons You Need to Start Nutrition Strategies During an IBD Flare Up | Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians

We know — when you're in the middle of a flare, the last thing you want to think about is food. Eating can feel scary, your symptoms may be overwhelming, and it can feel so much easier on the surface to just keep taking out every food that triggers you. 

We have talked to several people recently that were surprised to learn that flare ups are when you need nutrition support the most.

As dietitians who personally live with IBD, we're sharing the 3 biggest reasons why you don't want to wait to start working on your nutrition when a flare hits.

In this video, we cover:
🥗 Reason #1 — Treating Malnutrition
Flares take a serious toll on your body. Between reduced appetite, food fear, and your gut's decreased ability to absorb nutrients, malnutrition can sneak up on you fast. We're talking about why catching and addressing this early is so critical for your recovery and helping medications work better.

💊 Reason #2 — Treating Nutrient Deficiencies
IBD puts you at a much higher risk for specific nutrient deficiencies — things like iron, vitamin D, B12, and more. Left unaddressed, these deficiencies can make your symptoms worse and leave you feeling completely depleted. We walk you through what to look out for and why working with a dietitian during a flare can make a huge difference.

🌿 Reason #3 — Getting Strategies for Symptom Relief
Nutrition isn't just about what you're eating — it's about how you're eating, when you're eating, and finding the right strategies and tools to help manage your symptoms while still nourishing your body. 

You don't have to push through a flare alone. There is so much we can do nutritionally to support your body, and we want you to know that it's never too early — or too late — to start.

If you've been struggling during a flare and don't know where to turn, this video is for you.
