Diet therapy in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease has become better defined. Because maldigestion or malabsorption frequently occurs, malnutrition is a common complication. Careful assessment of nutritional status by the health care providers is mandatory. Diet therapy, by eliminating offending foods such as lactose or gluten or by addition of specialized enteral formulas containing MCT, or elemental diets can be instituted with marked relief in symptoms. The role of dietary fiber is now better defined in the treatment and prevention of many diseases. Further refinement and rational uses of diet therapy can be expected in future years.
饮食疗法在胃肠道疾病治疗中的应用已变得更加明确。由于常出现消化不良或吸收不良，营养不良是常见的并发症。医疗保健人员必须仔细评估营养状况。通过去除如乳糖或麸质等有害食物，或添加含中链甘油三酯的特殊肠内配方奶粉或要素饮食来进行饮食疗法，可显著缓解症状。膳食纤维在许多疾病的治疗和预防中的作用现已更加明确。预计在未来几年，饮食疗法将得到进一步完善和合理应用。
