Dietary modifications in GI disorders are designed to alleviate symptoms, correct nutrient deficiencies, and, when possible, address the primary cause of difficulty. Increased intakes of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes are frequently required to replace nutrients lost. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for all patients with diseases of the intestines must be individualized. The primary emphasis in dietary management is the reduction of carbohydrate foods. Therefore, meeting a good Dietician is quite important in order to get a personalized diet chart made to treat yourself.
