Nutritional Gastroenterology

Nutritional Gastroenterology is a medical field focused on how diet and nutrition impact the health of the digestive system. It examines how certain foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns influence gut function, help manage gastrointestinal conditions, and promote overall digestive health. This area aims to identify nutritional strategies to prevent, treat, or alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption, gut flora balance, and intestinal health. By understanding the relationship between nutrition and the gastrointestinal system, practitioners can develop personalized dietary plans that support healing and improve quality of life.
