DVD - Nutrition in Digestive Health
A Review of Current and Emerging Issues for the Gastroenterologist
"It is self-evident that the primary role of the digestive system is to extract nutrients from the food we eat and eliminate that which is not needed; furthermore many digestive complaints are induced by eating or by the ingestion of specific food ingredients. However, in gastroenterology education and training, nutrition, as a topic, is often ignored or scarcely discussed, leaving the practitioner ill-equipped to deal with the many nutritional issues that arise in the assessment and management of his or her patient. Nutrition should be at the very core of our understanding of the gut and its function; by making nutrition the focus of this years World Digestive Health Day the World Gastroenterology Organisation brings appropriate attention to the importance of nutrition in digestive health and disease"
