Thanks to our Digestive Disease Week chair Verdu Lab & co-speakers Christopher Gardner & Vijay Kumar - understanding fibre-microbiome-host interactions and the clinical considerations for next steps to translating findings - how do we support safe and personalized increase in fibre intake?

It was great to attend the first human trial showing a low emulsifier diet is safe and effective and improves food-related quality of life in patients with moderate Crohn’s disease Diet research is so challenging, so we applaud Aaron Bancil, Kevin Whelan, The Gut Health Doctor | Dr Megan Rossi (RD, PhD),

📩 Take home from our talks Christopher Gardner Digestive Disease Week is the importance of ⬆️ fibre intake & ⬆️ variety of dietary fibres consumed as they all have differing benefits for host & microbiome. Dietitian support is 🔑 for those struggling with symptoms/concerns on high fibre diets 🥦

Expanding our work in collaboration with GEM Project with dietary fibre intake data run by our teams very own Reihane Khorasani and members of the GEM team Toronto Immune and Digestive Health Institute associating findings with clinical and microbiome data ⬆️ intake of specific fibers protective against CD dx?

Intakes of high-quality carbohydrates and dietary fiber were associated with positive health in older adulthood These findings suggest that dietary carbohydrate quality may be an important determinant of healthy aging: loom.ly/nutG9_M
