How can a dietitian help with ulcerative colitis?
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition that can affect digestion, nutrient intake, energy levels, and quality of life. Working with an ulcerative colitis dietitian helps you plan for flare vs. remission, manage symptoms (like urgency, diarrhea, cramping, and bloating), and protect nutrition status so you can maintain weight, strength, and daily routine.
How will a dietitian help during an ulcerative colitis flare?
During a flare, your ulcerative colitis nutritionist can create a short-term plan designed to reduce digestive strain while keeping you nourished. This may include hydration guidance, calorie and protein support, and a list of foods that are typically better tolerated, coordinated with your gastroenterologist when needed.
Can a nutritionist help me gain weight after flare-related weight loss?
Yes. If you’ve lost weight after a flare, an ulcerative colitis nutritionist can help you rebuild with gut-tolerant, higher-calorie meal strategies. They may also recommend supplements when appropriate and track progress so you can regain strength while keeping symptoms as controlled as possible.
Will a dietitian tell me to cut out entire food groups?
Not usually. An ulcerative colitis dietitian focuses on evidence-based, individualized adjustments—not blanket restrictions. You’ll work together to test tolerance, reintroduce foods when appropriate, and keep your nutrition complete over the long term.

How Health Loft works
Match with a dietitian
When choosing the right nutritionist or dietitian, credentials aren't the only factor to consider.

Comprehensive nutritional assessment

Based on their findings, they will create a personalized nutrition plan tailored to support you in achieving your desired outcomes.
Ongoing support & monitoring
Nutrition is a journey that should not be rushed, but rest assured that we're with you every step of the way. Our health experts help you stay on course through regular check-ins, recommendations, and progress monitoring.

- Kerri Holmquist has been extremely helpful in my journey to eat better, control my blood sugar and lose weight. So easy to talk to and she’s always going the extra mile to research how to make my day to day more successful. I am very grateful to have found her.
I worked with Solveig. She was great to work with. Any questions I had were answered in a very informative way. I learned a lot from her and she was able to guide me in the right direction.
I have been working with my Dietitian, Riley Maloney, for a few years now. She has been nothing short of amazing and has been a perfect addition to my care team. I always feel supported, loved, and taken care of. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a Dietitian!
Danielle has changed my life. I first started with Danielle after getting some concerning blood work results, but came to learn that I had never confronted my disordered eating. Since working with Danielle I’m in such a better space both mentally & physically. It was incredibly easy to connect with someone through Health Loft Nutrition & I would highly recommend both Danielle & this service as a whole!
