Eating out with IBD can feel daunting, especially during the festive season 💚

Many people with Crohn’s or Colitis avoid social occasions involving food, but missing out doesn’t have to be the only option. With a little planning and individualised nutrition support, eating out can feel more manageable.

These tips are evidence-informed, practical, and designed to reduce stress around food, not add to it.

Let us know in the comments if you have any tips or tricks for eating out!

Do you struggle with constipation?

❌ Don't worry about packing your diet full of different kinds of fibre or the latest probiotic

✅ Try these specific foods & drinks:
🥝 2-3 kiwi fruits a day
🟣 8-10 prunes a day
🍞 Rye bread
💧 Prioritize water high in minerals rather than tap water

✅ Some food supplements are also effective:
💊 Magnesium oxide supplements
💊 Specific fiber supplements (i.e., psyllium)

❓ Lack of research on the impact of many different probiotic strains

💡Eating during a flare of #Crohnsdisease shouldn't be a nightmare

@CatherineWallNZ explains the two ways diet can help:

✅ To reduce inflammation alongside medications

✅ To support treatment and encourage getting all the nutrients needed during a flare

[GI Nutrition Foundation @GI_NutritionFdn]

Placebo rates are high in dietary interventions to improve constipation

Also, keep in mind that two diet exposures can coexist so it's difficult to know who is the chicken and the egg as @ProfWhelan explained

Yes, diet matters for preventing #IBD❗

@JeanFredericCo1, @GimdGold, @NarulaNeeraj & colleagues have summarized what all reliable studies say:

👉 A ⬆ risk of CD was linked to:
🔴 Inflammatory diet
🔴 Ultra-processed foods

👉 A ⬇ risk of CD was linked to:
🟢 High fiber intake
🟢 Mediterranean diet
🟢 Healthy diet
🟢 Unprocessed or minimally processed foods

❓ Unknowns: No link between individual foods or food patterns and the risk of #ulcerative colitis

Your competence kills innovation.

• Most profs stay conscious competent. Skilled but stale, safe but stuck
• Real breakthroughs come from professors who risk looking stupid again

Mastery is the enemy of discovery. Push yourself to make progress.

I used to dread writing abstracts.

Then I discovered a formula.
It changed my entire approach to scientific abstract writing.

Your abstract doesn't have to be a headache.
