Are there foods that might help or hurt while my diagnosis is being figured out?

There is no single food plan that works for everyone with IBD. While your diagnosis is still being worked out, what you eat may affect how you feel.

Reading level

While your IBD diagnosis is still being settled, there is no one-size-fits-all food plan. What you eat can affect how your gut feels, but the right approach is different for each person. Your care team — including your gut doctor, called a gastroenterologist — is the best guide for your own situation.
