Abstract
In a clinical context, the question of what to eat is one of the most commonly asked by patients and also, at least as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is concerned, among the most difficult to answer by physicians. In published guidelines for management of IBD, dietary advice plays only a minor part, while public guidance, as provided by professional bodies, varies and is often based on consensus rather than on evidence [1]. In the last few years, excellent reviews of the epidemiological, clinical, and experimental works addressing the role of nutrition in IBD have been published [2–8]. The aim of this chapter is to revise the emerging knowledge, introduce some ideas and new data from recent research, and explain the authors’ point of view.
