Nutritional Symposia and Webinars

An overview of the prevalence of IBD, its pathogenesis, and the role of diet as both a risk factor and a treatment for IBD. The post-presentation discussion between Dr. Cohen and Dr. Konijeti provides insight into some of the relevant issues of the clinical application of nutrition including the following: Why Patients Are Interested In Dietary Treatment When It Is Appropriate The Science Behind Available Dietary Options Role of Diet in Combination with Medication Overview of the Challenges In Diet Treatment. Sponsored by Nestlé Health Science.

Dr. Lihi Godny discusses the use of the Mediterranean Diet for IBD, including exciting new data from her ongoing research. The presentation includes the following:

• The geographical and cultural differences in the Mediterranean Diet (MED)
• How MED can be used in IBD both in prevention and treatment
• The Effects of MED on
  • Symptoms
  • Inflammatory Markers
  • Quality of life
  • Overall mortality
  • Microbiome
• The IBDMED educational program
• Adopting MED as a sustainable lifestyle, not a diet

• Recent Findings on the Use of Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet in Clinical Practice: Rotem Sigall Boneh, Israel
• How Do Microbes Play a Role in Inflammation and Recovery?: Prof. Johan van Limbergen, The Netherlands
• How Do Food Additives Play a Role in Inflammation?: Dr. Benoit Chassaing, France
• How Do Fibres Play a Role in Inflammation and Recovery? Prof. Eytan Wine, Canada

Dr. Lindsey Albenberg, a clinician and researcher from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, describes the rapidly increasing incidence of IBD and its relationship to diet, microbiome and the immune system. She reviews the rationale and science supporting the use of dietary therapy to compliment drug therapy as an avenue to potentially achieve higher, more sustainable and possibly safer levels of remission long term in pediatric patients.

Rotem Sigall Boneh, RD, a primary researcher and developer of CDED, provides an overview of the accumulating data with CDED in combination with PEN, including the newly published results of adult data with important endoscopic findings and further shares real world experience and application of nutritional therapy.

Dr. Ana Maldonado-Contreras, a lead researcher in IBD-AID explains the relationship between diet, microbiome and immune function with the design and rational of IBD-AID to manipulate the microbiome. She shares the recently published data of the impact of IBD-AID on the microbiome and cytokine levels specific to food components.

At the NTforIBD Nutritional Symposium prepared for NASPGHAN2021, Professor Day provides insight into the important role of EEN, an underutilized option to both induce remission and improve outcomes in complicated and peri-operative patients.
