New Campaign Reveals How Diet Could Transform IBD Management

A nationwide campaign for IBD Awareness Day has launched, running until the end of the year. The initiative aims to highlight new nutritional insights for people living with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which affect over 400,000 Germans. Organisers have planned a series of events and resources to spread awareness. The campaign kicks off ahead of IBD Awareness Day on May 19, focusing on how diet impacts gut health. Recent research suggests certain foods can either worsen or stabilise inflammation in the gut. Ultra-processed foods, in particular, are under scrutiny for potentially triggering inflammatory responses.

A free webinar on May 13, from 6 to 8 p.m., will explore the links between diet and treatment strategies. No registration is needed to attend. Alongside this, the campaign offers online materials and event listings, all accessible at [www.gastro-liga.de](http://www.gastro-liga.de). Experts point out that adjusting dietary habits may help manage symptoms. The campaign encourages those with IBD to explore how food choices could influence their condition.

The initiative provides practical information on nutrition and IBD management. With free events and online support, organisers hope to reach as many affected individuals as possible. More details are available through the campaign’s official website.
