Topic 12 Nutritional Support in Gastrointestinal Diseases

Nutritional Support in Gastrointestinal Diseases focusses on intestinal failure and inflammatory bowel disease. There are separate Modules on pathogenesis, on the identification and management of short bowel syndrome and on enterocutaneous fistulas,
in addition to one addressing nutritional issues in Crohn's disease (and to a lesser extent in ulcerative colitis). The Topic intends to provide a practical guide to a complex area of nutritional practice that is often misunderstood.
