Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of diseases characterized by recurrent episodes of chronic intestinal inflammation including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).The prevalence of IBD has shown a rapid growth in China.Malnutrition is often seen in IBD patients,especially in those with CD.Appropriate diets and supplementation of trace elements,calcium,vitamin D,and probiotics are beneficial for disease remission and control.Nutrition support therapy can improve the nutritional status and meanwhile may facilitate the induction and maintenance of remission in CD patients.
