Introducing Our Course
Nutrition and IBD for Dietitians

For patients with inflammatory bowel disease, proper nutritional care can be life-changing – and even lifesaving.

Conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can make it hard to properly ingest, digest, and absorb food and water. Because of this, they need to be managed carefully to keep patients as healthy as possible, and to prevent or alleviate nutrition-related complications like malnutrition and obstruction.

After completing this course, you will walk away with a greater understanding of the role of nutritional care in IBD, as well as a deeper insight into the science behind IBD pathophysiology and treatment.

Nutrition and IBD for Dietitians is designed to provide you with IBD-specific knowledge that you can apply in your practice as a dietitian.

What are the benefits of doing this course?

GutSmart is a flexible online approach to learning that you can fit around your work and life.

This course includes:

  • 6 evidence-based modules on nutrition, IBD, and related topics,
  • Case-studies, quizzes, and glossaries to support your learning, and
  • Extra links to hours of resources and recommended readings.

Additionally, this course may count towards 15 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.

What will you learn about?

The objectives of this course are to:
