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!

  • 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?
