Chronic digestive issues are common among people of all ages. According to a recent survey by the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, as many as 30% of general U.S. consumers have had chronic, ongoing gastrointestinal (GI) or digestive problems. An ulcerative colitis patient himself, Seattle chef Joel Gamoran partnered with The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation to help answer a popular question for anyone with digestive issues: what can I eat? Gamoran helped the foundation launch Gut-Friendly Recipes — a free new online recipe finder tool with more than 500 easy recipes across all meal categories for gut-friendly and nutritious meals.
