Nutrition in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Nutrition plays a vital role in managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Individuals with IBD may experience malnutrition due to poor nutrient absorption, loss of appetite, or dietary restrictions. Proper dietary management can help reduce symptoms, maintain a healthy weight, and support overall health. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats, while minimizing processed foods, can aid healing and inflammation. Working with a healthcare provider or a dietitian can help create a personalized nutrition plan that meets specific needs and goals for better health.
