IBS-like symptoms in IBD even in remission

Just because inflammation is under control doesn’t always mean symptoms disappear. And we understand how frustrating that can feel. Research shows up to 30–40% of people with IBD in remission experience IBS-like symptoms such as bloating, gas, or urgency. (Quigley et al., Am J Gastroenterol, 2012).

This happens for a few reasons from a gut that stays extra sensitive, to changes in gut–brain communication, to shifts in the gut microbiome. The good news? If a flare has been ruled out, there are strategies that can help from diet tweaks and mindfulness to lifestyle changes and gut-friendly approaches.

Remember: you’re not alone, and support is out there. Always check with your healthcare team if symptoms change or worsen.

Looking for something new to cook? Try Borani Banjan — a traditional Afghan eggplant dish that’s as comforting as it is flavorful!

Layers of tender, fried eggplant are simmered in a mildly spiced tomato sauce with garlic, onion, and a hint of dill, then topped with creamy yogurt (optional or SCD-friendly!).

Perfect as a vegetarian main or a crowd-pleasing side dish. Simple ingredients, big flavor!

There’s a lot of misinformation online about what you can and cannot eat with IBD. That’s why evidence-based nutrition is so important to separate fact from fiction. 🥗

Before taking nutrition advice online, remember to:
✅ Check the source’s credentials
✅ Make sure it’s backed by research and clinical evidence
✅ Check with your IBD team first (Your IBD Doctor, Nurse or Dietitian)
