John F. Gilmore Symposium on Nutrition and Small Bowel Disorders 2023

Chicago, IL US
September 23, 2023
Training in nutrition is a heterogeneous field, ranging from understanding metabolism in health and disease, micronutrient and macronutrient requirements, nutrient digestion and absorption, and the best route and provision of nutrition support. A broad understanding of nutrition support basics allows healthcare professionals to handle the increasing complexity of patients with multiple comorbid conditions. In addition, it allows providers to introduce the role of diet in disease management, a goal of most patients. Incorporating the basic principles of intestinal absorption allows for a greater understanding of the role of the FODMAP diet in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) management. Including dietary recommendations can reduce the risk of relapse of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Lastly, diet is the sole therapeutic strategy in celiac disease management. The goal of the John F. Gilmore Symposium on Nutrition and Small Bowel Disorders is to introduce healthcare professionals to the field of nutrition support and increase awareness of the role of diet in disease management. It will increase their comfort level with the prescription and management of artificial nutrition (enteral and parenteral nutrition) and help them explore the role of diet in specific gastrointestinal disorders.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for gastroenterologists, gastroenterology trainees, internists, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, registered dietitians, nurses, and pharmacists dedicated to caring for patients with nutrition-related disorders.

Learning Objectives

After this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Identify basic initial recommendations for the management of malnutrition to provide to patients;
  • Select the appropriate enteral feeding tube based on a patient’s unique clinical condition;
  • Describe techniques for managing physiologic intolerances to enteral nutrition support and mechanical complications of enteral access devices (e.g., leaking, clogged, and connection incompatibilities);
  • Recall the role of diet in the management of IBD, including the postoperative patient and managing of short bowel syndrome (SBS);
  • Recommend the appropriate use of parenteral nutrition (PN) with an understanding of the basics of line choice and home monitoring;
  • Discuss the challenges of a gluten-free diet and upcoming medical therapies in celiac disease;
  • Explain how to counsel patients on weight loss, including dietary, prescription, medical, and endoscopic therapies.
