Description

Dietary Interventions in Gastrointestinal Diseases: Foods, Nutrients and Dietary Supplements provides valuable insights into the agents that affect metabolism and other health-related conditions in the gastrointestinal system. It provides nutritional treatment options for those suffering from gastrointestinal diseases including Crohn’s Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Allergies, among others. Information is presented on a variety of foods, including herbs, fruits, soy and olive oil, thus showing that changes in intake can change antioxidant and disease preventing non-nutrients and affect gastrointestinal health and/or disease promotion. This book serves as a valuable resource for biomedical researchers who focus on identifying the causes of gastrointestinal diseases and food scientists targeting health-related product development.

Key Features

  • Provides information on agents that affect metabolism and other health-related conditions in the gastrointestinal tract
  • Explores the impact of composition, including differences based on country of origin and processing techniques to highlight compositional differences and their effect on the gastrointestinal tract
  • Addresses the most positive results from dietary interventions using bioactive foods to impact gastrointestinal diseases, including reduction of inflammation and improved function of organs

Readership

Biomedical researchers who focus on identifying the causes of liver diseases as well as food scientists targeting health-related product development; also nutritionists and dieticians

    Dietary Interventions in Gastrointestinal Diseases 1st Edition

    I liked the precision and details regarding the role of different types of fibers in the treatment/management of some gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea. Information I found in this book corrected some misconceptions of role of fibers
