Ulcerative colitis (UC) is common, yet nutrition guidance often feels limited. In this 1-hour Journal Club replay (originally recorded August 2025), we explore a new University of Calgary study asking: could reducing sulfur-containing foods improve outcomes in UC? We discuss how a reduced sulfur diet alongside standard therapy may affect disease activity, as well as its impact on the gut microbiome and metabolome. Most importantly, we consider what these findings could mean for relapse prevention, long-term IBD care, and more. A practical, evidence-informed session for dietitians supporting clients with UC.

Explore a novel approach to SIBO management in this 1-hour Journal Club replay. Originally recorded live in May 2025, this session reviews a new clinical trial on the use of a palatable elemental diet for SIBO and IMO. We break down the study's findings on efficacy, tolerability, and safety—and discuss how this option may support patients with complex symptoms or limited treatment success. Ideal for dietitians looking to stay current on emerging digestive health interventions.

Could sucrose intolerance be hiding in plain sight? In this 1-hour Journal Club replay (originally recorded in June 2025), we review a compelling chart study exploring sucrose intolerance as an under-recognized cause of common IBS-like symptoms. You'll learn how to identify red flags, even without access to diagnostic testing, and explore how targeted nutrition strategies and enzyme therapy can support symptom relief in stubborn cases. A valuable session for any dietitian managing complex or unresponsive GI presentations.

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is fairly common, but doesn't always have clear guidance. In this 1-hour Journal Club replay (originally recorded in July 2025), we explore a multi-center study examining the impact of diet and mucosal protectors on LPR — a condition that often mimics allergies or stress, and lacks clear-cut treatment guidelines. We talk about the subtle signs (like chronic throat clearing, hoarseness, and post-nasal drip), and dive deeper into understanding how diet can influence symptoms. Plus, this research helps to give us some clarity on when to consider adding mucosal support (ie. medications). A practical, clinically relevant session for any dietitian working with persistent upper GI symptoms.
