Show Notes

Gut issues aren’t always IBS — and for those living with Crohn’s or Colitis, there’s so much more beneath the surface.

In this episode, Leanne sits down with dietitian and Crohn’s warrior Eloise Turner for a practical, compassionate deep dive into inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Together, they unpack:

  • The key differences between Crohn’s, Colitis, and IBS

  • The emotional toll of misdiagnosis and food fear

  • What flares and remissions really feel like

  • How nutrition, lifestyle and medication work together

  • Emerging research around emulsifiers and fibre tolerance

  • What every Aussie should know about the “Can’t Wait” card

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or supporting a loved one, this episode will give you clarity, understanding and real-life tools to navigate gut health.
