50: Inflammatory Bowel Disease and nutrition

Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are very interested in the relationship between their diet and their disease. Up to 85% of patients with the condition suffer from malnutrition for a variety of reasons. In this episode Dr Charles Andrews, discusses the reasons for malnutrition and how to assess for this with Sam Poore, a specialist dietician at Bristol Royal Infirmary.  They talk about topics including ileostomy advice, the role of probiotics in IBD, and dietary modification in IBD, including the role of the low FODMAPS diet in patients with IBD in remission.
