Bowel Moments
Meet Laura Manning, MPH, RDN, CDN!
This week we had such a great conversation with Laura Manning, MPH, RDN, CDN! Laura is a registered dietitian that works with the IBD team at the Susan and Leonard Feinstein Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Mount Sinai Medical Center. We talked to her about her interesting and unique career before she became a dietitian and why she switched. We talked about nutrition therapy for people living with Crohn's disease and her research on scurvy and IBD. We discussed nutritional supplements and their safety and also how to introduce foods back into your diet. We also discussed the very effective and empowering GRITT-IBD program which is a multi-disciplinary program intended to provide services and support that will help patients have improved quality of life. Finally we talked about fish. We loved our conversation and laughs with Laura this week and we know you will too!
