Welcome!

At Wellness by Food, we recognize that food has a tremendous impact on the body’s ability to heal.

Our IBD experts include a registered dietitian nutritionist, a culinary nutritionist,  and a guy who manages his IBD through food. With our expert nutrition advice + culinary skill + personal experience, we can help make nutrition a driving factor in your healing process!

Eating with IBD can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, you’re in the right place.

  • What is safe to eat with IBD?
  • What IBD trigger foods should I avoid?
  • Does food impact my inflammation?
  • How can I change my diet to feel well and reduce IBD symptoms?
  • How can I find the time to eat well?
