UBCO researcher swings the pendulum on fibre intake
June 27, 2023
A UBC Okanagan researcher wants to turn the tables on the long-held practice of restricting fibre completely for people living with inflammatory bowel disease.
Dr. Natasha Haskey, a registered dietitian who works with the Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science‘s Centre for Microbiome and Inflammation Research, focuses her research on nutrition for people with digestive diseases. Her most recent paper examines whether it’s time to re-think what people living with certain conditions—including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—should eat.
