🌿 Crohn’s & Colitis: Understanding the Basics

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
While both cause inflammation in the digestive tract, each condition affects the body differently—and recognizing those differences can support earlier care and better symptom management.

Crohn’s Disease
• Can involve any part of the digestive tract (mouth → a**s)
• Inflammation is often patchy and can extend through multiple tissue layers
• Common symptoms: abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue

Ulcerative Colitis
• Affects only the colon and re**um
• Inflammation is continuous and limited to the inner lining
• Common symptoms: bloody stools, urgency, abdominal cramping

Shared Considerations
• Both are chronic autoimmune conditions
• Flares may be triggered by stress, illness, or medication changes
• Treatment often includes medication, nutrition support, and lifestyle adjustments
• Early diagnosis and consistent follow-up can reduce long-term complications

What Patients Can Do:

✔️ Monitor symptoms and track flare patterns
✔️ Keep regular appointments with GI specialists
✔️ Support gut health with hydration, stress management, and individualized nutrition
✔️ Ask about new treatment options if symptoms persist

Crohn’s and colitis are manageable with the right care plan—knowledge and early action make a meaningful difference.

Eating seasonal produce has several benefits, both for your health and the environment:

**Nutritional Quality**
**Freshness**: Seasonal produce is typically harvested at its peak ripeness, leading to better flavor and higher nutrient content.
**Variety**: Eating with the seasons encourages a diverse diet, which can enhance overall nutrient intake.

**Flavor and Taste**
**Better Taste**: Fruits and vegetables grown in their natural season often taste better since they are allowed to mature properly.
**Culinary Variety**: Seasonal ingredients can inspire new recipes and cooking methods.

**Environmental Impact**
**Sustainability**: Consuming local, seasonal produce reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and storage.
**Biodiversity**: Supporting local farms encourages agricultural diversity and sustainable farming practices.

**Economic Support**
**Local Economy**: Purchasing seasonal produce from local farmers supports the community and encourages economic sustainability.
**Cost-Effectiveness**: Seasonal fruits and vegetables are often less expensive due to their abundance and lower transportation costs.

**Food Safety**
**Less Chemical Use**: Seasonal produce may require fewer preservatives and chemicals since it's consumed soon after harvest.
**Reduced Risk of Contamination**: Local sourcing can lead to fresher produce with shorter supply chains, potentially reducing contamination risks.

**Connection to Nature**
**Awareness of Seasons**: Eating seasonally helps people connect with nature and understand the growing cycles of food.
**Mindful Eating**: It promotes a more thoughtful approach to meals and encourages appreciation for food.

Check out our November blog post on eating right with diabetes and how seasonal produce fits into your daily nutrition.

Limiting sugar in your diet is crucial for several reasons:

**Dental Health**: Sugar is a primary contributor to tooth decay. It feeds harmful bacteria in the mouth, leading to cavities and gum disease.

**Chronic Diseases**: Excessive sugar consumption is associated with a higher risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.

**Blood Sugar Control**: Consuming too much sugar can lead to spikes in blood glucose levels, which can be particularly harmful for those with insulin resistance or diabetes.

**Mood and Energy Levels**: High sugar intake can cause fluctuations in energy levels and mood. After the initial energy boost, a crash often follows, leading to fatigue and irritability.

**Nutritional Deficiencies**: Foods high in added sugars often replace more nutritious options in your diet, potentially leading to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals.

Reducing sugar intake can lead to improved overall health, better mood stability, and a lower risk of various health issues. Come talk to an AM Nutrition Services dietitian to learn more easy swaps to improve your overall nutrition. Little changes make big impacts 🙂
