Nutrition in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

  • Chapter
Nutrition and Gastrointestinal Disease

Part of the book series: Clinical Gastroenterology ((CG))

Summary

Discussed in this chapter are ways in which inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and nutrition are intimately related. Both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can have a profound effect on the nutritional status of those afflicted with these diseases. This can occur as a result of decreased food intake, digestion and absorption, increased requirements, altered metabolism of nutrients, increased losses and drug-nutrient interactions. There have also been implications of diet in the etiology of IBD. Finally, nutrition in the treatment of IBD is outlined. If it is found that nutrients are potential immunomodulators in these diseases, some intriguing dietary treatments may come to the forefront in the future.
