Clinical Nutrition in Gastroenterology

Clinical nutrition in gastroenterology focuses on how diet affects digestive health and managing gastrointestinal disorders. It involves assessing patients' nutritional needs, providing dietary recommendations, and developing meal plans to support recovery and improve overall health. Conditions like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome often require tailored nutritional strategies to alleviate symptoms, enhance digestion, and ensure proper nutrient absorption. Dietitians collaborate with healthcare providers to educate patients on food choices that promote gut health, prevent complications, and support effective treatment of their conditions.
