I help people diagnosed with IBD go from feeling overwhelmed about where to start, to having what they need to become educated, resilient, and empowered.

Diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?❗️ Now what? What is IBD?

Interested to see a future research recommendation that involves controlling for the potential of impact to outcome by ingredients other than the probiotics in yogurt => perhaps examining critical probiotics each individually, without the exposure to other ingredients? Thoughts?

[GutMicrobiota Health @GMFHx]

Can probiotic drinks boost our brain health?

New findings suggest that probiotic yogurt might influence how the brain and gut interact, but more research is needed to understand their importance

Important findings 📰 for a risk 🔥 with IBD regarding erosive esophagitis

[Gastroenterology & Endoscopy News @gastroendonews]

New data presented at #ACG2025 suggest vonoprazan may reduce adverse events in erosive esophagitis compared with PPIs.
The findings add to growing interest in how PCABs may fit into GI practice.

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. People with Crohn’s or Colitis are at greater risk of mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression. Mental health problems can have a negative effect on gut symptoms.

Whoa. I identify with so many of these. I can relate.

What else do you tell yourself?

.@foundmyfitness Beta-glucan can interact negatively with biologics taken to suppress an overactive immune system. Critical for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). What’s the answer for us?

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Fruits & vegetables likely account for a majority of people's dietary microplastic and PFAS intake.

What’s frustrating is that this isn’t something you can just rinse off. In many cases, the contamination appears to be taken up into the food itself.

Organic may reduce some of that exposure, but even organic farms can be affected when they’re near contaminated land or water.

Should you stop eating produce? No. We should be much more upset about how widespread these chemicals have become, especially when children are being exposed through foods we otherwise consider healthy.

One practical thing I think is worth considering is beta-glucan. There’s some evidence it may help support the excretion of PFAS, and given how unavoidable these exposures are becoming, that may be a useful tool, especially for families who can’t realistically eliminate every source.

Reasonable adjustments to consider asking for at work

[Crohn's & Colitis UK @CrohnsColitisUK]

If you decide to tell your employer about your Crohn’s or Colitis, they can make changes to help you do your job. These are known as reasonable adjustments. Our information for employees includes examples of reasonable adjustments.

Crohn’s and Colitis may be invisible, but the pain, fatigue and urgency have a huge impact. Better public understanding helps people feel supported and less alone. We’re committed to raising awareness, challenging stigma and improving support - reshare if you are too 💜

Thanks to @ProfChrisLamb for these exciting findings!

=> IBD patients have better reported outcomes with research-active hospitals as opposed to hospitals not conducting IBD-centric research.

[Chris Lamb @ProfChrisLamb]

📢 New paper out!

✨ Research‑active hospitals deliver better patient‑reported IBD care ✨

Thanks to @BMJOpen_Gastro for publishing our paper of national data linking research‑active IBD services with higher patient‑reported quality of care.

Conclusion: Diet quality influences inflammation in IBD through distinct microbiome pathways, specific taxa & metabolites mediate effect in CD, whereas microbial richness & global composition drive protection in UC

[GI Nutrition Foundation @GI_NutritionFdn]

Could #diet affect #IBD activity through involving the #gutmicrobiome❓

💡New findings from @vallhebron show distinct microbiota-related features link diet to inflammation in Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis:

✅ Patients with Crohn's showed the lowest microbial diversity, with coffee and whole wheat bread reducing inflammation via short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria

✅ In ulcerative colitis, Mediterranean-like, fibre-rich diets lowered C-reactive protein and calprotectin through enhancing health-associated microorganisms

✅ Patients with IBD reported more restrictive diets compared with healthy controls 👉 likely worsening malnutrition and gut function

👉These findings could help develop tailored dietary advice for people with Crohn's based on their gut microbial makeup
