Erica Aitken, Ms, Rdn, Cdn Email and Phone Number
A highly skilled dietitian provider of Gastrointestinal nutrition, which I provide out of our Williamsville office. I am a published researcher who is dedicated to the therapeutic nutrition management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease using medical nutrition therapy. I recently published "The Specific Carbohydrate Diet as an Evidenced-Based Dietary Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease". I am a presenter for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. My passion is to help patients with IBD and gastrointestinal diseases work towards and achieve remission, and raise awareness that this is possible. I am advancing my Master's level practice with intense coursework through the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA).
