Foreword
The management of a patient with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex and multilayered. Choosing appropriate effective yet safe therapy is utmost in the minds of most providers, but to the patient “Doctor what can I eat?” is the most important discussion that occurs in the office.

For some, enteral nutrition is the treatment of choice for their Crohn’s disease. So the timeliness of this book cannot be understated. The authors here have broken down the different aspects of “nutrition” for providers so that they can have informed discussions with their patients regarding this important topic.
