The anti-inflammatory diet for inflammatory bowel disease. Barbara Olendzki MPH, RD, LDN
Until recently, diet was overlooked in the treatment of IBD. However, in the hands of the right professional, diet can be highly effective as a treatment for IBD.
Barbara is an Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School and Nutrition Program Director, Centre for Applied Nutrition (Umass)
Barbara is delighted to present to us her research and clinical work on the microbiome and diet, which has led to the development of the inflammatory bowel disease and anti-inflammatory diet. Barbara shows us:
How diet, environment and genetics can affect the microbiome.
That IBD is highly responsive to diet.
How to utilise diet to balance microbiota and improve IBD
The 4 components of IBD-AID – probiotics, prebiotics, beneficial nutrients, avoidance of adverse foods (important not to just focus on this last one, as many clients with IBD tend to do)
How to use IBD-AID for benefitting IBS, IBD, food allergy, immunity, weight and more.
The role of fermented foods, supplements and digestive enzymes
Research on faecal transplants
As dietitians, we are shown how to customise a diet unique to the IBD client’s needs and shown what’s next in the future of diet-microbiome research.
