The foods we choose to fuel our bodies with can have a large impact on our digestive health. But not everyone with digestive health conditions has access to quality food options to make informed choices that are best for their health. Dr. Edwin McDonald, a Gastroenterologist at The University of Chicago, and a trained chef, joins us to discuss how he talks to his patients about food and their GI health. We also discuss how nutrition can impact the risk factors for chronic digestive conditions, and offer tips for how patients and providers can navigate these challenges together.

In this episode we discuss several of the standout abstracts we found extremely encouraging for patients living with an EoE diagnosis that were presented at this year's Digestive Disease Week (DDW), an annual scientific conference. This episode is brought to you by Sanofi Regeneron.

We welcome back Dr. Justin Crocker, a Gastroenterologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Duke University, to update us on the latest treatment options available for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). While there's no one size fits all method to helping patients manage their IBD symptoms, Dr. Crocker goes into great detail on the different kinds of medications available, why providers may prefer to prescribe one over the other, and the science behind some of these newer advanced therapies. This episode is brought to you in partnership with the American College of Gastroenterology's Patient Care Committee.
