  • Probiotic Best Practices: Expert Tips for Optimal Gut Health
    Emily advises taking probiotics consistently, either morning or night, with or without food. Pairing them with prebiotic-rich foods like flaxseed or kimchi enhances benefits. Avoid fast food and sugar for optimal results. When on antibiotics, take probiotics two hours apart to maintain gut flora. Choose supplements with multiple strains for best results.
  • Gut Health: The Key to Overall Wellbeing
    Emily highlights the link between gut and brain health, noting the role of the vagus nerve. She advises, "Limit ultra-processed foods and sugar," and recommends probiotics and fermented foods. Regular bowel movements are essential, with one to three daily being ideal. Constipation may increase cancer risk by prolonging toxin exposure in the colon.
  • Dietitian Offers UC-Friendly Meal Ideas for Better Gut Health
    Emily suggests "soft cooked meats and vegetables" while avoiding high fiber, gluten, and sometimes dairy, based on individual tolerance. Meal choices vary with UC control, differing during flare-ups versus managed phases. For personalized meal ideas, Emily is available for interviews.
