There is so much ‘what’s healthy’ misinformation floating around.
What’s Healthy Misinformation
The “health” community has made it very difficult for my IBS and IBD friends.
A friend told me this past weekend that her aunt has Crohn’s Disease and is fed up. She started eating healthier with salads, and in the process she has gotten worse. She started saying,
Healthy food is crap because all those salads have made me feel worse.
My response to her was this,
I would never have told her to eat a bunch of salads upon diagnosis.
In fact, I overhear the “lettuce and sugar-free treats are good, butter and red meats are bad” conversations weekly.
I have to bite my lip because I made a promise to myself that I would not interject opinion without being asked for that opinion.
But I won’t lie, it is getting harder and harder.
The misinformation about what’s “healthy” is killing our guts.

What’s healthy for one person isn’t healthy for another. The universal “healthy” blanket is an abused term.
Absolutely! And it’s so frustrating…
we agree!!
Sometime “healthy” food really isn’t healthy. I think everyone should eat what makes them personally feel at the top of their game.
Having IBS-D for 12 years now has taught me that “healthy” is a relative term when it comes to food and nutrition. People have enormous misconceptions about just the basics about what people need to eat and why.
Thanks for sharing, Diana! This is precisely why I wrote The Gutsy Girl’s Bible 🙂
