Abstract
The case study presented in this chapter is related to Crohn's disease (CD). CD is a type of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affecting both small and large bowels. Several factors are involved in the aetiopathogenesis of CD. Individuals diagnosed with CD will typically experience periods of relapse and remission. Therefore, the main aim of medical therapy in CD is to induce and maintain remission. The case presented in this chapter will demonstrate the role of medical nutrition therapy in a recently diagnosed patient with CD who was admitted with abdominal pain for 6 weeks and acute flare for the disease, which is complicated by weight loss. Overall, the case study will assist the practice of clinical dietitians who are dealing with IBD patients. Mainly, it will allow them to assess the symptoms and associated nutritional complications of CD, and develop a nutrition support intervention plan. Also, it will support the process of patient's education for dietary modification to help alleviate the symptoms in CD.
