My mission? Getting my patients as excited about food again as Tattie is about dinner 🐶🍽️

Living with IBD can make food feel overwhelming, stressful and unenjoyable. So much of my work is helping people rebuild confidence around eating, reduce symptoms and most importantly enjoy food again. Because food is not only about nutrition - it’s about taste, texture, pleasure, social connection, comfort, culture and so much more!

Food should be something you look forward to… ideally with a little bit of Tattie-level enthusiasm.

If you need help restoring your enthusiasm and confidence around food and your IBD and you would like support managing your symptoms - I can help. I’m an IBD, J-Pouch and stoma specialist nutritionist and can support you through 1:1 appointments or my What To Eat In a Flare Courses. See the link in my bio for more information and to book/buy.

Seeing pieces of vegetables in your poo can feel alarming.

I often hear in clinic: “I must not tolerate that food.” So it gets removed from that persons diet.

But in many cases, this isn’t intolerance to this food.

There are parts of plant foods, particularly insoluble fibre, that we don’t fully break down. This is completely normal and happens in everyone.

Seeing things like peas, salad leaves or spinach doesn’t automatically mean you need to avoid them.

Yet I so often see people unnecessarily restricting nutritious foods because of this which can impact confidence, variety and nutritional intake. Most of the time we can enjoy these foods, sometimes we may need to adapt them slightly if you are in a flare or have strictures.

Diet is a vital piece of the puzzle in IBD care, but it needs to be based on understanding, not fear.

If you’re feeling unsure about what you can and can’t eat with your IBD, this is exactly what I help people with in my clinic.

You can learn more about working with me 1:1 via the link in my bio (all appointments are via video call so it doesn’t matter where you are in the UK or the world!)

It may not be a lack of knowledge and it’s not a lack of care - it could be a lack of TIME.

Luckily I have at least an hour with every new patient I see to talk solely about diet!

If you would like to see how I can support you with your diet and IBD see the link in my bio for 1:1 support and my what to eat in a flare self paced courses.

CLINIC STORY - FATIGUE - She had to stop semi-professional cycling because of her IBD fatigue.

When we looked deeper, we found nutrient deficiencies driving her low energy.

With the right nutrition support, her energy improved and she’s now cycling again.

Fatigue in IBD isn’t something you just have to accept.

Diet is a vital piece of the puzzle in IBD care, and with the right support, things can change.

If you’re struggling with fatigue and want to feel like more yourself again, I offer 1:1 nutrition support.

Trying to control symptoms by eating less can feel like the safest option.

But often, it leaves you more exhausted, prolonging recovery, and still struggling with symptoms.

There is another way to approach food with IBD.

👉 I support people with this every day in 1:1 clinic and I have built 2 What to Eat in a Flare courses to support with this too. See link in bio for more information on both.

Fatigue in IBD isn’t just about needing an early night.

It’s one of the most common, and most frustrating, symptoms I see in clinic, and it often has multiple causes:

• Ongoing inflammation (in a flare)
• Iron deficiency or other nutrient deficiencies
• Poor sleep quality
• medication side effects
• not enough energy going in - fuel in the tank

So if you’re feeling constantly drained… it’s not in your head, and it’s not something you just have to “push through”.

Diet is a vital piece of the puzzle in IBD care and when we address the causes of fatigue, we can start to help you have more energy and get back to living your life.

If you’re struggling with low energy and want personalised support to understand why and what to do about it, I offer 1:1 nutrition support for people with IBD.

You can apply to work with me via the link in my bio.

I said I would never do this - I said I would never call anyone out online but here we are.
I can’t stand back anymore and watch people like this, with over 60k followers, spreading misinformation about diet and IBD.

Telling people they need to cut out more and more foods to avoid “triggering” a flare isn’t just unhelpful, it can be harmful.

It creates fear around food.
It leads to unnecessary restriction.
And in many cases, it can actually make symptoms and nutritional status worse over time.

Diet is a vital piece of the puzzle in IBD care but it’s not about removing 8, 10 or 20 foods to avoid “triggering a flare”.
It’s about understanding what you can INCLUDE to help you support your body and to try and reduce your risk of flaring, what you can tolerate, and how to support your gut and body through both flares and remission and ensure you can live life to the full and enjoy as many foods as possible!

People with IBD deserve clear, evidence-based guidance not lists of foods to exclude based on no evidence!

If you’re feeling confused about what to eat, don’t go to people like this guy. Get help from someone who is qualified, experienced and evidence based.

You can explore my evidence-based flare courses or book 1:1 support for personalised IBD nutrition guidance that fits you (no fads, trends or misinformation just evidence based, practical support from someone who is qualified and gets it!) via the link in my bio.
