Disclosures None
Objectives • At the conclusion of the conference, participant should be able to: • 1) Describe the possible role of diet in the development of IBD • 2) Identify the importance of nutritional deficiencies in IBD • 3) Describe the potential use of diet as therapy for IBD
So doc, what can I eat? • “Intellectual divide” • Physicians focus on nutritional deficiencies • Patients interested in diet as cause or cure of symptoms
Malnutrition- then and now • 20-85% of IBD patients with protein-energy malnutrition • Hospital based studies (1970s) • Most prevalent nutritional abnormality = excess body weight (2007) Sousa Guerreiro et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 2007 Nov;102(11):2551-6

Gastroenterology. 2003 Mar;124(3):795-841
Folate/B12 • Decreased intestinal transport- sulfasalazine • Deficiency may result in hyperhomocystinemia • Hypercoagulable state • Folate supplementation- possible protective against colorectal cancer/dysplasia Lashner et al. Gastroenterology. 1989 Aug;97(2):255-9 Lashner et al. Gastroenterology. 1997 Jan;112(1):29-32
Micronutrients • Zinc • wound healing • Selenium • possible anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic properties • Antioxident vitamins
Possible pathways • Remove toxin/antigenic stimulus (elemental diet) • Alter bacteria flora (prebiotic) • Alter intestinal fluid transport/gas production

Ongoing research BCM
BCM Food aversion study • Hypothesis: • Food aversion in IBD is common. • Food aversion in IBD may be related to several factors • Physician • Patient directed education • Patient symptom correlation
BCM Food aversion study • Primary aim: To define the frequency and character of dietary alterations that occur in patients with IBD • Secondary aims: • Identify the reason IBD patients initiate dietary modifications • Identify if IBD patients feel dietary modifications are effective
Methods • Prospective, controlled data acquisition • 100 IBD patients • 50 CD • 50 UC • 100 healthy controls • Non-IBS • Matched for age, sex
BCM Food aversion study • Goals • Establish food aversion patterns in IBD • Identify etiology of food aversion patterns in IBD • Create pilot data for further studies regarding dietary habits and IBD • Establish if unnecessary food aversion result in nutritional deficiency • Apply educational tools to correct nutritional deficiencies
Conclusions • Diet as Etiology • Fatty acids composition may play a role in pathogenesis • Nutritional deficiencies • Protein-calorie malnutrition becoming less common, but Micronutrient deficiencies common • Diet as Therapy • Fiber, enteral therapy, CAM
