Ker, C., ulcerative colitis (part 2)
Stacey took the time to explain to me what was happening in my body, the types of foods I should be eating given the stage of my disease, and the foods I should be avoiding. I felt like I was able to make good choices for myself because I understood the science behind it.
If you’re struggling with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s, Stacey is a no-brainer. She’ll really LISTEN to your concerns and symptoms, and provide you with the knowledge, education, and support you need to see improvements. I have recommended her to several people already because I had such an amazing experience with her!

Cra, H., Crohn’s disease (perioperative)
Working with Stacey has been a huge blessing during the most difficult time in my disease. The unique thing about Stacey is that she has experience with IBD, and so she doesn’t just talk at you like other dietitians. Her advice comes from a place of understanding and compassion. She will only give you information if it’s evidence-based, and she spends a lot of time staying up to date with new IBD research/trends. I always feel so comfortable talking to her because she brings her patient and RD expertise to every appointment. I highly recommend Stacey for any IBD patient, and especially if you’re in pre/post surgery.

Itt, C., microscopic colitis
Stacey is an incredible dietitian and human being. Her attuned, understanding stance combined with her training, knowledge base and evidence-informed guidance have altered the course of my disease-and life. She helped me develop a plan that allows me to eat so much more variety than I EVER thought possible, while having a plan to get back to basics when I experience symptoms. I did not believe it was possible at the onset of our work together that I could lead a relatively normal life with very minimal symptom interruption, but she kept the faith and tailored my plan to fit my disease and lifestyle. I could not recommend her highly enough to anyone experiencing IBD.

Ker, S., j-pouch (perioperative)
I connected with Stacey a few months prior to my J-Pouch reconstruction surgery. My goal was to find nutritional support going into surgery and the months following. Stacey gave me that and so much more! From our first session, I felt 100% supported and knew she was 100% invested in me. I would recommend working with Stacey to anyone, no matter where they are in their IBD journey! The experience she has and knowledge in her field is truly unmatched. Working with Stacey has given me the confidence to try new foods and tools I know I will use the rest of my life – to live confidently with my J-Pouch!

Ker, C., ulcerative colitis (part 1)
Stacey had me get a full blood panel done when we started working together. She found immediately that I was iron deficient and provided an iron supplement recommendation. Having been in a bad UC flare for 8+ months, I was shocked that my doctors never tested for this. The iron supplement helped me increase my energy levels almost immediately…
I found Stacey’s knowledge of ulcerative colitis and how nutrition impacts ME given my disease to be the most beneficial part of working together. I’ve seen nutritionists and dietitians in the past who thought they could “cure” me with diet (spoiler: they didn’t).

Ede, D., j-pouch (postoperative)
I think one of the most important things I got out of working with Stacey is my increase in confidence when trying food. I have been hesitant around food after having IBD for many years and had many food fears. She helped me to create a sense of safety around food and taught me how to add in new foods slowly to maintain this sense of safety. I have felt very proud as I’ve added 5+ new foods in just the short time working with her…
I also wish I had known about the benefits of working with Stacey before surgery. I struggled with malnutrition before surgery which created an added obstacle after surgery. I also feared that Stacey would suggest eliminating many foods or following a really restrictive plan like what was suggested to me by the hospital nutritionists. Stacey did the opposite of that! She encouraged me to add new things into my diet!
