Core Tip
Core Tip: Routine nutritional assessment, education, and close communication about diet are essential for professionally recommended diets, and they are a potential therapeutic strategy for inflammatory bowel disease onset and severity. Traditional nutrition therapy and consultation can be provided by telenutrition through remote electronic communication applications, which could greatly benefit patient care. Telenutrition is a self-management tool offering cost-effective, quick, and accessible personalized dietary advice for inflammatory bowel disease patients that require lifelong follow-up and maintenance treatment. However, there are certain barriers to legacies, education, sufficient equipment, and privacy. Further studies and interventions should focus on removing barriers while improving benefits.
