Abstract
Almost all the micronutrients being absorbed in gastrointestinal tract, patients with gastrointestinal disorders are at highest risk of having multiple nutritional deficiencies including micronutrient deficiencies. Malnutrition and deficiencies can be prevented or treated by optimal medical nutrition therapy, yet limited specific knowledge about micronutrients remains among clinicians. Further knowledge on trace elements remains miniscule as compared to vitamins. Practical recommendations based on available micronutrient guidelines are therefore required regarding procedures for determination of requirements and, especially for gastrointestinal diseases as this is the commonest encountered problem that can impair enzymatic as well as biochemical processes and lead to multiple complications including death. Here we have tried to give consensus based recommendations to help practicing dieticians and clinicians making decision regarding specific micronutrient deficiencies and their implications in gastrointestinal diseases. Keywords: Practical recommendations on micronutrient deficiencies in gastrointestinal diseases, Malnutrition, IAPEN INDIA consensus statement
