Both Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease are types of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucous. The combination of inflammation and ulceration can cause abdominal discomfort and frequent emptying of the colon. The symptoms of these two illnesses are quite similar, but the areas affected in the gastrointestinal tract are different.
There are different approaches to treating IBD. In this article I will explain the main techniques to heal these diseases from a nutritional perspective: food intolerances, SCD diet and vegan diet.

Behind every nutritionist and, in general, behind most people who are dedicated to health, there is a personal story of disease. I am no exception.
This summer I decided to write a little story about how a switch to a healthier lifestyle had a deep impact on the health of my family.
My story is not particularly interesting or astonishing, in fact it is quite common. It is the story of a family who discover the way to good health thanks to suffering some kind of illness. The story of being thankful to the wonderful people I have found on the way, who have led me to find the appropriate treatment, after trying many of them. The story of being graced with capacities as an open mind, a critical spirit, a love for science and a certain ability for sacrifice; of being lucky to be part of a family that has always supported my decisions about health related changes; and so many other graces which I have been blessed with.
It is thanks to all this that I now practice a profession that I love and that fullfills me completely as a person.
I hope that this story encourages people in similar situations to mine to follow a path like mine.
