Please don’t get your IBD dietary advice from social media.
A study last year found that only 2% of nutrition information on TikTok is accurate.
Two percent!
Its no wonder so many people with Crohn’s or Colitis feel overwhelmed and afraid to eat.
I spoke to a patient recently who was getting completely different advice every time she scrolled “go low fibre forever,” “avoid fruit,” “only eat fruit,” “this food cured my IBD”, “this tea cured my IBD”…You name it, she’d heard it.
When I shared the 2% statistic with her, everything clicked.
She wasn’t failing, she was drowning in misinformation.
After we worked together with sensible, evidence-based and personalised nutrition, she went from:
❌confusion → clarity ✅
❌ constant debilitating symptoms → more manageable symptoms ✅
❌ fear of food → confidence at mealtimes ✅
This is why I do what I do.
Diet is a vital piece of the puzzle in IBD care but only when the advice is tailored to YOU.
