• Resumen

  • The link which exists between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and diet is a complex one. Publications on this issue are scarce and contradictory, even more so in the paediatric field. This first paper provided a review of the existing scientific evidence concerning the debatable role of diet as a risk factor or cause of IBD, as well concerning as the nutritional consequences of this disorder for a population at this stage of development. The second part of the review concentrates on assessing the effectiveness of enteral nutrition in treating IBD, especially in cases of Crohn's disease, and the predominant role it plays in such cases in comparison with pharmacological treatment, as well as its ability to reverse complications arising from this pathology in terms of nutritional status and growth. ©2012 Ediciones Mayo, S.A.
