@JPGNonline Thank you so much for sharing! @Flat_Jennie couldn't have said it better myself!

Do you think about diet therapy in the care of your #pediatric #IBD patients? Check out this article by Kalami et al. for things to consider. bit.ly/3uOlHvh

@RavenousVenus + colleagues discuss identifying if IBD diet therapy is the right fit and explore alternative approaches.

Important commentary in @JPGNonline by @StanfordChild RD @RavenousVenus and @IBD_CeliacKids integrative IBD MD @annmingyeh describing the rarely discussed risks of defined diet therapy for #IBD and balancing disease, psychosocial, and cultural factors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jp…

@BenjamminGold @cpnp_naspghan Thank you Dr. Gold!

@cpnp_naspghan @RavenousVenus Thank you @cpnp_naspghan for taking this important topic on and addressing it in a thoughtful sensitive manner!!!🙏🏽

In this episode of Nutrition Pearls: The Pediatric GI Nutrition Podcast, Megan Murphy & Melissa Talley host dietitian Venus Kalam @RavenousVenus .She discusses cultural humility & diversity in pediatric nutrition, specifically in infant feeding.

@cpnp_naspghan Thank you so much for having me!

@Flat_Jennie @NeeraGuptaMD @ChildrensNatl Ensuring that on balance, EEN supports remission & keeps a child's mental health whole & safe is of utmost importance. I'm hopeful that with increased use of nutrition therapies, we will navigate them in individualized, compassionate, & trauma- & eating disorder-informed ways 🤍

@NeeraGuptaMD @ChildrensNatl 🧵 Appreciate your team’s willingness to begin to appreciate the lived experiences of pediatric IBD patients on EEN. As an IBDer who did EEN as a young person & an IBD psychologist, I implore your team to be extra, extra thoughtful about how a 5 day EEN challenge is

Congratulations to @ChildrensNatl Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition for reaching Day #5 of Our 5 Day #EENchallenge‼️ One more meal to go‼️ We look forward to sharing our experiences & tips with our patients❣️ #ExclusiveEnteralNutrition #IBD #Crohns #ChildHealth

@Flat_Jennie @NeeraGuptaMD @ChildrensNatl Taking a deeply empathetic and compassionate approach is one of the most therapeutic interventions we can provide as clinicians and it is so important to recognize when EN is an appropriate fit for a patient and when to back away from EN...

@Flat_Jennie @NeeraGuptaMD @ChildrensNatl Really appreciate this comment thread 👏🏼 Thank you Jennie for shedding light on the complexities of navigating EEN as a child, from medical, psychosocial, and cultural lenses. As an IBD RD, I've seen many patients feel physically better but truly down and depressed on EEN...

When a family is not following your recommendations: be curious, not confrontational via @Flat_Jennie #NASPGHAN23 #naspghan2023

@VenterCarina To no surprise to anyone Carina. So enormously well deserved. I hope you get a chance to celebrate such an accomplishment. I was singing your praises and Marion's to Wendy E at NASPGHAN - such a small world!

Thanks Nicola - beyond honored #BSACI2023

There is tremendous work ahead of us to further our knowledge & ability to provide evidence-based care for body image, disordered eating & weight stigma in pediatric #IBD by @Flat_Jennie via @DrBradJerson #NASPGHAN23 #naspghan2023

The incredible importance of navigating the complex risks and rewards of dietary intervention in pediatric DGBI, including psychosocial considerations - another highlight of why peds GI psychologists are needed in this medical decision-making! #NASPGHAN23 @pedsgastropsych

Excellent talk by @Flat_Jennie earlier today on body image, weight stigma, and disordered eating in IBD. She is an incredible advocate and provider! Lucky to call her a colleague and friend. #NASPGHAN23

So grateful to be able to present at #NASPGHAN23. Thanks @Flat_Jennie for sharing!

@Flat_Jennie @pedsgastropsych Having #WeightStigma on your radar on an ongoing basis is essentially tied to your efforts of appreciating #Intersectionality in your #antiracist and #DEI informed healthcare. Shoutout to fabulous work of @SaStrings #NASPGHAN23

Living with #IBD as a young person presents enough uncertainty and anxiety as it is. Here’s what you can do in your visits to reduce #DisorderedEating risk. @Flat_Jennie nailing — every. single. point! Save this slide for reviewing with #GI learners. #NASPGHAN23 @pedsgastropsych

Reminder!! 🚨 Emphasize what the body is DOING. NOT how the body is LOOKING! #NASPGHAN23

To help #GI providers assess, recognize, and modify treatment recommendations, @Flat_Jennie Dr Jennie David breaking down the core concepts about #BodyImage #DisorderedEating & #Intersectionality of #WeightStigma in #IBD. @pedsgastropsych #NASPGHAN23
