In a Healio video exclusive, Edward V. Loftus Jr., MD, highlighted the growing recognition that diet, specifically tailored nutrition interventions, can play a crucial role in the management of several gastrointestinal disorders.
“We all know, especially in [inflammatory bowel disease], the re-emerging of diet as an important factor in terms of how to manage patients, and I think that recognition has played out in other parts of GI as well,” Loftus, the Maxine and Jack Zarrow Family Professor of Gastroenterology at the Mayo Clinic told Healio.
