Nutritional Advice in Patients with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders

기능성 위장관 질환 환자의 진료실에서의 영양 상담

In patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders, dietary factors have an important effect on the development or worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, nutritional advice is often needed for the treatment of these patients. Although no firm conclusions can be drawn from current studies, the use of low-fat diets can be recommended in patients with functional dyspepsia. Constipation can be treated with a high-fiber diet. There are few studies in irritable bowel syndrome patients with diarrhea. The diet recommendations must be applied to each patient depending on symptoms.
