Clinician Resources

Diet is essential to the management of IBD. As it modifies the balance of the gut microbiome, it may have the greatest potential to alter it and the underlying activation of the immune system. Nutritional therapy is likely one of the most powerful tools clinicians have to alter the outcome of disease. However, it is often underutilized due to the difficulties in implementing it. Resources are provided to aid clinicians in integrating nutritional therapy as a therapeutic option.
