About this listen

 Today we welcome two world-leading dietitians to talk all things diet in IBD and IBS....A/Prof Emma Halmos is a senior research dietitian at Monash University and the Alfred Hospital. Her scientific achievements have had a major impact in clinical practice nationally and internationally. The most notable was the pivotal feeding study that demonstrated the low FODMAP diet was efficacious in patients with IBS. A/Prof Halmos has been elected onto the D-ECCO (Dietitians of European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation) committee and is a leading coordinator for the first ECCO guidelines on nutrition in IBD. Her current role at Monash University is leading research on novel dietary therapy to treat IBD and IBS.Dr CK Yao is a senior research dietitian at Monash University and the Alfred Hospital, and recent NHMRC emerging leader. In 2017, CK completed her PhD investigating dietary manipulation of gut microbial function and the application of gaseous biomarkers in patients with functional and inflammatory bowel disease. Dr Yao currently leads a research programme looking at optimising dietary strategies for patients with ulcerative colitis and those with an ileoanal pouch.We discuss the critical role of diet in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We explore various dietary patterns, the impact of emulsifiers and ultra-processed foods, and the importance of personalized dietary advice. We talk about the significance of dietitians in guiding patients towards healthier choices. This conversation delves into the complexities of dietary recommendations for various gastrointestinal conditions, particularly focusing on the Mediterranean diet, Crohn's disease, and IBS. We discuss cultural influences on diet, the importance of personalized nutrition, and the emerging trends in dietary therapy. Finally we touch on the new ECCO Diet in IBD guideline that is set to be published soon.As always comments, questions and feedback please send to: X: @2guystalkingitEmail: 2guystalkingit@gmail.comChapters00:00 Introduction with J & J4:20 On to our guests...
