Don’t miss important updates in the areas of IBD that interest you
Treatments, diet, supplements and the microbiome. Selected and explained as the evidence develops.
What’s Changing in IBD brings useful developments together in one live resource, with my view and one clear monthly email.

The useful additions, what they may mean and what remains uncertain.
Even I sometimes find it difficult to keep track of everything
I began using a Google Sheet to keep useful findings together for my own clinical reading and for questions that came up with patients.
As more people asked about treatments, diet, supplements and the microbiome, particularly through social media, I adapted it into a clearer resource for people living with IBD, supported by one monthly email.
Two useful resources, with a clear explanation throughout
The monthly email shows you what changed. The live resource lets you explore the subjects that interest you in more detail.
The live IBD update resource
An organised, read only Google Sheet covering Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, treatments, diet, supplements and the microbiome. It is updated as useful evidence changes or new subjects are added.
One clear monthly email
A short guide to useful additions, why they attracted attention and what remains uncertain.
Promising, but larger trials are required before this could affect routine care.
My view
A concise explanation of why a finding matters, what remains uncertain and whether it may affect current care.

See the research in context
Each entry shows why a subject matters, my view, the role and limitations of the evidence, and when it was last updated.
| Topic | Why this matters | My view | Evidence and role | Last updated | Watch Video | Read More |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bread, processing and IBD | A large study asked whether the processing of grains may matter more than bread itself. | Bread and carbohydrates are not automatically harmful. Advice still needs to fit the individual. | Population evidence. Useful context, but not proof that one food causes or prevents IBD. | 30 Jun | Watch video | Read more |
| FMT for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis | Patients want to know whether FMT can treat IBD and whether the latest Crohn’s trial changes current care. | FMT remains investigational for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It should not replace established treatment. | The main clinical result was mixed, although the endoscopic response and donor effect remain worth following. | 26 Jul | Watch video | Read more |
Not every update should change what you do
Some findings are useful now. Others are promising but early. A few become popular online despite having very little human evidence behind them.
I want the resource to make those differences clear, not simply give you more information.
IBD Biologics and Advanced Treatments guide
A practical clinic guide to help you understand treatment choices, prepare useful questions and leave an appointment with a clearer plan. It includes a clinic appointment worksheet and checklist that you can use before and during your consultation.
Included with the monthly subscription at no additional cost. A separate guide page can be linked here later.

Useful details before you subscribe
Clear answers about access, updates and the limits of the service.
What exactly will I receive?
Access to the live, read only IBD update resource, one plain language email each month, and the IBD Biologics and Advanced Treatments guide with its clinic appointment worksheet and checklist.
How often is the resource updated?
Selected research is added as it is reviewed. Subscribers receive one email each month highlighting useful additions and developing themes.
Is it suitable for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis?
Yes. The resource covers Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and broader IBD subjects in organised sections.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. The subscription is managed through Gumroad. Cancelling there stops future renewal payments.
Does this replace medical advice?
No. It provides general education to support discussions with your own IBD team. It does not provide personal medical advice or replace a medical consultation.
Do I need a Google Account?
Yes. The email used for purchase must be linked to the Google Account you will use to open the resource. It does not need to be a Gmail address.
Will every new IBD study be included?
No. The resource is selected rather than exhaustive. It focuses on findings that may be useful to understand, including subjects that are promising, uncertain or overhyped.
