Day 4 of #CCawarenessWeek Let's talk about diet. If you have Crohn's or Colitis I highly suggest starting with an elimination diet to see what are your triggers. 90% of the time it's going to be dairy, high fat animal products. But everyone is different. For me, eating a high fiber diet with no animal fat or protein has been best. And variety is key. It's not just oatmeal and some psyllium in the morning. The more variety of plants one eats, the healthier the gut biome. When I started eating like this, it seemed counterintuitive to eat MORE fiber, but it has been a lifechanger. Read 'Fiber Fueled'

One thing that always bugs me is when people without IBD give me dietary suggestions, or judge me for enjoying wine or a coffee. Please don't make suggestions, we are already aware of whatever 'study' you read about in Vogue or USA Today. We read the medical journal. Don't mansplain my disease to me, also don't suggest a gluten-free diet. #CrohnsDisease #IBDvisible #FiberFueled
