Live Fearless Challenge: livefearlesschallenge.com.au

According to the IBD State of the Nation report, more than one in three patients experience symptoms for over a year before receiving a diagnosis. Once diagnosed, 41% of people took more than 5 years to get their symptoms under control.

To achieve significant change and ensure people have equitable access to best practice, integrated care, the top 3 priorities for implementation by 2030 include:

Improving access to multi-disciplinary care,
Improving access to novel therapies, and
Investing in IBD research.

But to do so, we need your help. Funds raised through the Live Fearless Challenge directly support the IBD community by helping CCA invest in life-changing research, education, advocacy, and provide essential support services for people living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

SWIPE to see how IBD can cause nutrient deficiencies 👉

Having Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can impact our body’s ability to properly digest food and absorb nutrients.

This may lead to nutrient deficiencies and malnutrition which can increase our risk of bone disease, cognitive decline, anaemia, poor growth and other complications.

As a dietitian living with Crohn’s disease, I can:
✨ Monitor your nutrition status
✨ Help build a balanced diet and avoid unnecessary restrictions
✨ Support you in eating with confidence, not fear
✨ Recommend the right supplements (if/when needed)

To learn more about how we can work together, comment or DM me “IBD123”.

5 lessons l’ve learnt while travelling *with Crohn’s disease*

Growth, grief, and gratitude all wrapped into one big, beautiful life chapter 🥹

After 6 months in Vietnam, I’ve tried more dishes than I can count 🤭

And yes, I have Crohn’s disease.

I’m here to show you that it is possible to travel, eat well, and enjoy new cuisines *without living in fear of flares*

From street food to Michelin star restaurants, I’ve navigated it all while still prioritising my gut health.

Just because we have IBD doesn’t mean we have to say goodbye to our favourite foods or dreams of travel.

You just need the right tools and support.

So if you’re tired of saying no and are ready to take back control of your life, I’m just a message away ✨

P.S. I’ve tagged all my fav local restaurants so if you’re planning to go to Da Nang, I highly recommend SAVING this post!

No one knows more about the challenges of diet and Crohn’s disease than the families living with a child diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. We want to hear from YOU!

We are a collaborative team of researchers from Queensland University of Technology and Queensland Children’s Hospital.

The study aims to collect information about the dietary habits of children with Crohn’s and their families, and the possible barriers to eating well. We hope this information will help to develop future diet therapies to support a better quality of life for these children and young people.

Why you may ask?

Because the science linking food, mood and gut health has never been stronger *good food (really does) = good mood*

Throughout the month of February, you can expect some gut lovin’ recipes and resources to nurture your body from the inside out ✨ as well as a VERY exciting announcement — coming soon 🤭
