Advances in Nutritional Management of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few decades, several “diets” have been suggested to be effective in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with several landmark papers, especially in the last few years, which have been pivotal in changing our understanding and management of IBD from a nutrition perspective.

This Special Issue on “Advances in Nutritional Management of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease” aims to provide an overview of the role and importance of nutritional status and available diet therapy in pediatric IBD, the pros and cons of each option, including potential associated costs of treatment and subsequent effect on quality of life, mechanisms of action including proposed modifications of intestinal microbiome, and what the landscape of nutritional interventions in children with IBD over the next few decades will look like.

You are very welcome to share with our readers your research ideas and interesting results that will bring us closer to answering one of the most important questions that we all hear from our patients with IBD: “What can or can’t I eat?”

Prof. Wael El-Matary
