Nutrition and IBD Symposium - New this Year!
The meeting will take place at the Westin Harbour Castle on Sunday, November 8, 2026. This follows Meeting of the Minds taking place on Friday, November 6 and 7.

- Evaluate the evidence for dietary therapies in CD to guide individualized nutrition management.
- Evaluate the evidence for dietary therapies in UC to guide individualized nutrition management.

- Identify and manage malnutrition in IBD, including complex presentations such as food insecurity, obesity, sarcopenic obesity, and GLP-1 therapy use.
- Integrate malnutrition assessment and treatment into routine care within a physician-led IBD clinic.
- Evaluate current and emerging precision nutrition approaches and their real-world application in IBD care.
- Included will be lived patient experiences and perspectives.
