In this episode we have our first guess on to have an informative yet lighthearted conversation about gut health and issues - specifically Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD). Amie Gross, MS, RD, shares her personal story about living with IBD. We of course, add in our tidbits (on IBS and much more).  Topics we address: What IBD is and the two different types. The difference between IBD and IBS. Amie's experience with her diagnosis. How Amie's lifestyle and diet changed, if at all, since she was diagnosed. Some things Amie lives with that someone may not think pertains to IBD. What a flare up is and what it's like. How to explain IBD to someone who has no idea what it is. Worst case scenario you'll get nothing more than a few GOOD laughs out of listening to this episode.  Contact us at [email protected] Send us all your juicy nutrition questions and we will be happy to answer them in a future podcast.
