Information on how to recognize and treat these conditions from a nutrition standpoint will be covered. Dietary interventions, as well as non-diet tools, supplements, and behavior modifications, will be explained so that dietitians can support their clients in improving their symptoms and quality of life without triggering disordered eating behaviors.
Learning Objectives:
Following this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Understand the connection between GI conditions and eating disorders
- Recognize the most common GI conditions that their clients with ED will present
- Begin to apply dietary interventions and non-dietary tools to improve symptoms of GI issues
