This definitive reference book explores the critical connection between nutrition, weight, and digestive health, offering essential insights for medical practitioners treating digestive diseases. Divided into four sections, it begins with foundational nutritional concepts, including digestion, dietary composition, deficiencies, and assessment. The second section examines dietary and nutritional impacts of specific digestive diseases, organized by affected gastrointestinal organs. The third section focuses on appetite regulation, weight management, and obesity’s link to gastrointestinal diseases, emphasizing multidisciplinary care with dietary, pharmacological, endoscopic, and surgical options. The final section reviews core nutritional support principles.
A first-of-its-kind resource, it provides practical, organized information for clinicians across specialties, featuring dedicated chapters on enteral and parenteral nutrition, obesity considerations, and age-specific concerns (pediatrics and patients >65). This book is an invaluable guide for any medical practitioner who treats digestive diseases.
