"When on-the-ground treatment catches up with 21st-century science, we're going to see a revolution in how we treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Diet matters. Diet Heals."
The 3D-Dietary™ Approach for IBD
You live inside of a body with IBD. You know that food affects you and your symptoms. If you’ve been told that your diet is beside the point, you may have scratched your head — and you were right because you’ve been given yesterday’s wisdom. We now know that nutrition is a key player on the team of IBD care and management.
Many patients or their parents come to me feeling stuck. The patient is flaring and may be losing weight. And they’re removing food after food in hopes of finding the root cause of the issue. These patients may be facing new medications or surgeries. And always, they’re left wondering what to eat.
My 3D-Dietary® Approach for IBD steps in with the goal of reversing this downward spiral. My approach is drawn from my experience in clinical research, as well as extensive experience working with IBD patients and their families. Diet impacts all individuals with IBD and many respond well to personalized modifications over time.
Together, we work to:
Promote weight gain when needed
Support you through a flare
Reduce your IBD symptoms
Decrease your inflammation
Care for your gut microbiome
Identify food triggers

A Look Inside Mission: Remission
Our time together involves a careful examination of your history, current labs, disease type, and state, current diet, and nutritional status. If you are working with a GI team, I set up a thoughtful and supportive collaboration. Together, we select your personalized nutrition plan. The goal is to expand your diet, ensure you are adequately nourished, detect any triggers and use diet therapies if appropriate for you for a period of time.
Most available therapeutic diets restrict a targeted range of foods and dietary irritants initially while offering whole, nourishing and delicious foods. I help you make sense of what’s initially limited and included and guide you in creating meals that are soothing, satisfying, sustainable and enjoyable for you and your family. As you begin to heal, we add back foods, working towards a nutrition plan that is enjoyable and sustainable for the long term.
The goal is to empower you to make educated food choices and enjoy life. Where before food felt like the enemy; now it’s a path to healing.
