WJG, 15(17), 2081–2088. http://doi.org/10.3748/wjg.15.2081’ This peer review article highlights the fundamental role that nutrition therapy plays in the clinical management of all patients with CD. The review concentrates specially in correcting macro and micronutrient deficiencies in frequently malnourished patients, focusing on reversing the physiopathological consequences of such deficiencies. This article is important not only because it discusses the possible etiology of CD, but also because it adds practical recommendations for the management of the disease. 6.

It involves inflammation and ulceration of various regions of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) lining, which often extends deep into the layers of the affected areas. The associated inflammation and ulceration of the disease affects various segments of the intestines with unaffected bowel occuring between the diseased areas.
