High Fiber Diet
There are now new insights and discoveries in dietary fiber and how they interact with the bacteria in the colon. A surprisingly large number of previously unknown health benefits have been uncovered.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome Dietary Therapy
Many individuals have this IBS disorder. We are finding that the colon's bacteria may play a prominent role in IBS. Learning how this happens and what can be done from a diet standpoint can be an effective part of therapy.
Colon Gas and Flatus Prevention Diet
Bacteria are a normal and very healthy part of the function of the colon. These bacteria rely on fiber and the unused food that we eat for their own growth. Some of these bacteria are gas formers. To control colon gas, you need to understand how they all work together.
Crohn's Disease Dietary Therapy
This chronic inflammatory disease of the colon is tied closely to your genes and the bacteria in the gut.

New dietary research information suggests that certain changes in the foods that Crohn's patients eat can make a difference.
Ulcerative Colitis Dietary Therapy
This chronic disorder of the colon is caused by certain genetic factors, which a person cannot change. A good nutritional diet is important. The bacteria that grow in the colon, in particular the ones that make hydrogen sulfide gas, may also be important factors as well. Understanding how foods and fiber interact with colon bacteria could be important for these patients.
