About this book

This book is a state-of-the art review for clinicians and dieticians with an interest in nutrition and inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis). The volume covers new data about dietary risk factors for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, examines the association between diet and microbiome, describes the various diets in the management of these diseases, and discusses macro- and micronutrient deficiency that occurs in such patients. The book also examines the management of patients on total parenteral nutrition, and management of the short gut syndrome with TPN and novel pharmacologic therapies.  
 
Written by experts in their fields, Nutritional Management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Comprehensive Guide is a valuable and uniquely specialized resource for gastroenterologists, nutritionists, primary care physicians, and other health care providers and researchers dealing with the management of these complex illnesses. 

Reviews

“This book covers the nutritional component of managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) … . The audience is healthcare providers involved in the management of these patients. … I have already used this book a number of times in my clinical practice and continue to learn a great deal from it. In addition, I have encountered many questions from patients about what to eat, and this book serves as an excellent guide.” (Sunny Lo, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2016)
