Summary

Dietary patterns are a potentially modifiable risk factor for colon cancer recurrence, flares in inflammatory bowel diseases, and for chronic diseases. Nutritional counseling is rarely brought up during medical appointment. As a result, patients are often left confused regarding which specific dietary recommendation to follow after surgical treatment. A plant-based diet is naturally high in fiber and is beneficial to long-term health, especially for patients with colorectal diseases.

The aims of this study are to:

1. Determine whether an educational intervention is effective in increasing intake of plants
2. Identify barriers and facilitators to adoption of a plant-based diet among patients with colorectal diseases
3. Identify secondary health gains related to adoption of a plant-based diet.

BEHAVIORAL

Plant-based diet education

Participants will receive weekly emails with information about plant-based diets and a goal/task for each week. There will be a 'core curriculum' that will be sent to all participants, as well as additional information according to the participant's stage of change and food choice preferences. All information will be available on a website that will be created for this study. The website will feature curated information about plant-based diets, that is tailored to patients who had recent colorectal operations and may have a colostomy or an ileostomy.
