A Guide to Including Fiber with IBD
By Stacey Collins, RD – Stacey Collins Nutrition
Struggling to figure out fiber with Crohn’s, UC, or microscopic colitis? This practical, empowering guide is here to help. Created by a registered dietitian who specializes in gastrointestinal health, this resource walks you through the why and how of adding fiber when you have IBD — without overwhelming your gut (or your brain).
Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into your IBD journey, this guide is for you if:
You want to understand what fiber actually does for your gut
You’re unsure how to add it without triggering symptoms
You’re looking for gentle, realistic food ideas that support gut healing
Inside, you’ll learn:
The different types of fiber and where to find them
Why fiber is crucial (especially with IBD)
How to start slowly, safely, and intentionally
What a fiber-rich day actually looks like (with examples!)
Tips for hydration, movement, and texture modifications during flares
This is not a prescriptive plan — it’s a compassionate, food-first roadmap to help you feel safe in your body, support your gut, and eat in a way that works for you.
