How We Manage IBD Symptoms as Dietitians with IBD
Friday, 9 January, 2026
Send us a textEver wondered what IBD dietitians (that also have IBD too) do to manage their own symptoms? Let us tell you all about it....We chat about what we eat, how we stay hydrated, and the supplements that actually make a difference for us. We also get into the not-so-fun stuff—nausea, constipation, and fatigue—and share the simple habits that help us feel better on tough days.From soothing teas to post-meal walks, we talk through the small things that add up and make living with IBD a little more manageable. If you’re navigating similar symptoms, hopefully some of our experiences give you ideas, comfort, or just the reminder that you’re not dealing with this alone.Key Takeaways-- A quick walk after meals can help with digestion and reduce bloating.- Peppermint tea is calming and can be great for the gut.- Alginates can ease reflux and make eating more comfortable.- Staying hydrated is extra important.- Ginger and cardamom are surprisingly effective for nausea.- Soluble fiber can support more regular bowel movements.- Fatigue improves with good nutrition and solid sleep.Chapters-00:00- Managing IBD Symptoms: Personal Strategies07:22- Navigating Nausea and Digestive Discomfort09:43- Tackling Fatigue: Nutrition and Lifestyle Solutions15:47- Final Thoughts and Community EngagementFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us. We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to you tube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually level up what we do here. 💜 Ashley
