Did you know you can be in remission and still have gut symptoms and fatigue? Medications may be addressing the inflammation - but they don't always fully address the symptoms.

Sometimes you need to dig deeper with your dietitian on what nutrition related labs to run, looking into if you are fully meeting your needs and coming up with a plan and strategies to address gut symptoms.

Takeaways-

• Remission does not always equate to feeling better.
• Nutritional deficiencies are common in IBD patients.
• Fatigue is a prevalent symptom even in remission.
• Hydration and electrolytes are crucial for energy levels.
• IBS can complicate the management of IBD symptoms.
• Energy management is key to improving quality of life.
• Long-term strategies are necessary for symptom relief for many.
• Dietary adjustments can help improve tolerance to foods.

We 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.
