Genetically
Role of diet in the prevention of IBD:

-Location in GI tract, severity, strictures
-Surgical history
-Food-drug interactions (corticosteroids, methotrexate, sulfasalazine)
-Social history/food access
-Review of pertinent labs
-NFPE
-Diet recall
-Food allergies
-Chewing/swallowing
-Food fear
-Changes in GI function
What are pertinent labs to look at in people with IBD?
-Vitamin D and B12
-CBC, CMP
-Iron
-If increased fluid loss (diarrhea, ostomy output), zinc and urine sodium
-Thiamine, folate, B6, B12, vitamin C, Selenium, Magnesium
What increases the risk of malnutrition in those with IBD?
-Decreased oral intake
-Increased metabolic needs from inflammation/active disease
-Difficulty absorbing nutrients (ex: B12)
-Surgical alteration of GI tract
-Medication side effects
-Sarcopenia
-Food insecurity
What are negative effects of malnutrition on those with IBD?
-More likely to be hospitalized after ED visit
-Increased rates of hospital admission due to infection
-While hospitalized, increased risk of blood clots, non-elective surgery, increased length of stay, and increased mortality

-Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)
What are examples of nutrition interventions for IBD?
-Therapeutic diets
-Identification of food intolerances/restrictions (assessment of ARFID)
-Diet education: verbal and written
-Micronutrient supplementation
-Motivational interviewing, goal setting
-Need for EN/PEN
-Referral to resources
We should set up a consistent ___-___ frequency and do goal-setting with the patient to improve compliance
Follow-up
What are the goals of MNT for IBD?
