Description
Diabetes and hyperglycemia have immediate and long-term effects in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is essential that clinicians who care for individuals with diabetes understand the importance of nutrition therapy for common GI conditions. In addition to promoting health and preventing malnutrition, nutrition therapy can be used to manage GI symptoms, improve quality of life, as well as manage the disease itself. For example, nutrition therapy is often a first line of treatment to manage symptoms in those with irritable bowel syndrome and gastroparesis. While the only treatment for celiac disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a gluten-free diet and diet and exercise, respectively.
