Nutritional Therapy for Ibd

Ntforibd promotes awareness of Nutritional Therapy internationally through multiple venues to allow clinicians to keep pace with the rapidly evolving data and better inform patients of evidence-based dietary options. The increasing global utilization of the comprehensive and up-to-date information and resources found at www.ntforibd.org demonstrates the need and value of this new resource. Ntforibd exhibits at major gastroenterology meetings, providing a place for clinicians to engage in Nutritional discussions with top researchers. Ntforibd provides education covering the most recent publications and advancements in nutrition via a quarterly newsletter, summaries of Nutritional highlights from major meetings, social media updates, and with an annual Nutritional symposium.

Ntforibd develops patient resources to navigate the challenges of selecting and implementing complex dietary changes. Our newest resource, patient pathway, has been in development since 2021 with the first phase launching in 2022. It includes the basics of understanding the role of nutritution and various dietary options to aid patients in selecting one in conjunction with their medical team. The new patient pathway resource will guide the early steps in getting started, including over 1000 searchable recipes.

Ntforibd develops and maintains clinician resources to assist clinicians in integrating a patient-centric approach to nutrition. The newest clinician resource, entitled Nutritional Therapy: an option for every patient, is an algorithm-based patient-centric approach to bring clarity to Nutritional options based on patients' interests, resources, and goals. Additional clinician resources include the use of the website as a patient education tool to save clinicians time, resources to assist dietitians working with patients, and a new project to improve care by aiding the accessibility of knowledgeable dietitians. Clinicians further appreciate ntforibd's listing of ongoing Nutritional trials and available opportunities for participation.
