Abstract

There is recent interest in how the Western diet and dietary patterns affect IBD and how diet manipulation could alter the microbiome in IBD. Timely nutrition screening, assessment, and intervention can minimize the risk of malnutrition. Early detection of nutrient deficiencies, malabsorption, and prompt correction of abnormalities may improve nutritional status and quality of life in IBD. Enteral nutrition is a cost-effective approach to maintain or restore nutritional status if an oral diet is inadequate. Currently, there is much interest in complementary and alternative nutrition in IBD, though these are not ready for prime time, and further studies are needed. Diet is a useful tool to manage symptoms and provide adequate nutrition in IBD. Despite recent studies in IBD, a healthy and balanced diet remains recommended to alleviate symptoms and promote nutrition.
