IBD Kitchen
Welcome to IBD Kitchen, a new cookbook series designed to help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) enjoy their meals. The authors carefully considered the ingredients of every recipe and included a variety of nutrient-rich and fresh ingredients. The series provides simple and flavourful recipes that almost anyone with IBD can enjoy. They are designed to help meet your nutritional needs when decreased appetite, early satiety, and low energy levels are barriers to eating well.
Although everyone’s experience with IBD is unique, there are some foods that are generally better tolerated by people with IBD during a flare. You will find substitutions for some ingredients throughout the cookbook and tips on how to adjust the recipes to suit your individual needs. Make sure to check out the smoothie recipes for help making delicious drinks that act as great sources of energy and protein.
We have included helpful tips from dietitians and our chef with each recipe. However, we cannot provide individual diet recommendations and encourage you to reach out to your dietitian or health care team for more personalized information to meet your nutritional needs.
