Registered dietitians are ready to provide nutritional therapy for #IBD 💡 85% of patients with IBD think it is helpful to have access to a dietitian for nutrition advice 👉🏻especially immediately upon diagnosis But: Over 50% of dietitians see patients with IBD infrequently ⚠ Barriers: ⛔ Lack of emphasis by medical staff on the role of diet in IBD ⛔ Inadequate number of publicly funded dietitians ⛔ Cost of private practice dietitians 🤝 Let's work together so dietitians become the norm, not the exception, in IBD care 📚 McCarthy NE et al.
