How can a dietitian help with IBD?

IBD is a complex inflammatory condition that can impact digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall quality of life. An experienced IBD dietitian or inflammatory bowel disease nutritionist helps you plan for flare vs. remission, manage symptoms (diarrhea, pain, bloating), prevent or address malnutrition, and maintain a healthy weight and muscle mass.

How will a dietitian help during an IBD flare?

During a flare, an IBD nutritionist can build a short-term plan that reduces digestive workload while still supporting hydration, calories, and key nutrients. They’ll help you identify better-tolerated foods and may recommend specialized oral/enteral formulas when appropriate, coordinating with your gastroenterologist for a safe, aligned approach.

Can a nutritionist help me gain weight after flare-related weight loss?

Yes. An IBD dietitian will create high-calorie, gut-tolerant meal strategies, suggest supplemental nutrition when appropriate, and track progress with you so you can rebuild strength while minimizing symptoms.

Will a dietitian tell me to cut out entire food groups?

Not usually. A good dietitian or irritable bowel disease (IBD) specialist focuses on evidence-based, individualized changes, not blanket restrictions. They’ll help you test tolerance, reintroduce foods carefully, and prioritize long-term nutrition adequacy so your diet stays both realistic and nourishing.

My dietitian, Kristen, and I, I’ve been meeting for over two months or so, and I truly appreciate the guidance and concern concerns that she shares with me throughout the visit! I sense my health and body improving since meeting with her regularly!

I met with Katie G for several months. Her insight, information, and encouragement helped me repair my relationship with food. She was easy to reach, answered my questions, and gave helpful meal recommendations that became part of our regular routine. Overall, it was a great experience that gave me a foundation I will use for years.

I have been working with Katherine Gross for two years, and she has been an amazing part of my care team. She gave me helpful resources, education, and guidance for managing gut issues and improving my diet. My symptoms are now manageable, and I’ve learned so much about gut health and food.

I’ve been working with Katie Whitson for over a year, and she has taught me a lot about taking care of myself through food. Her kind and reassuring approach makes a difficult topic easier to talk about. She helped me build a healthier mindset around food and eating habits.

Melissa Horstman is a wonderful dietitian she has helped me in ways I never thought. I always thought that weight gain was something that just happened and there’s nothing I could do about it. Until I met Melissa I saw how wrong I was. If u need help with weight & want to do it naturally reach out to her. She will change your LIFE

I worked with Jenna Lenhart of Health Loft Nutrition for the last 3 months. Prior to working with her my gut health was in pretty bad shape and my blood tests were all borderline. Working with Jenna I’ve completely changed my diet for the better. My digestive system has completely changed for the better. My latest blood number all improved as well. 10/10 highly recommend!

I've been working with Maddie on Health Loft and my expectations have been completely blown away! Maddie comprehensively reviewed my diet and lifestyle habits to help me build a more rounded and well-balanced diet. She also helped me with fueling for my training and runs. Her knowledge on nutrition and sports nutrition helped fill in any holes in my diet and training. I highly recommend Health Loft and Maddie!
