Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diet plays a central role in the pathogenesis, clinical course, and management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Over recent years, increasing evidence has highlighted how specific dietary components and patterns can influence intestinal inflammation, microbiota composition, and therapeutic response. Nutritional management has therefore emerged as a cornerstone in both the prevention of disease relapse and the improvement of patients’ quality of life.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue of Nutrients, which aims to provide an updated and multidisciplinary perspective on the interaction between diet, nutrition, and IBD pathophysiology.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: dietary interventions, exclusion and enteral diets, nutritional deficiencies, microbiota modulation, personalized nutrition, nutraceuticals and innovative digital tools for dietary monitoring in IBD.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Prof. Dr. Paolo Gionchetti
Guest Editor
