Join us for the last education event of the year!
Approach to Patients with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction-Induced Altered Food Intake
What the clinician needs to know
There has been a rise in the number of adolescents and young adults presenting with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms resembling irritable bowel syndrome and other Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) in the Australian healthcare system, and ‘severe meal-related symptoms. These symptoms can lead to altered food intake and subsequent weight loss, or even nutritional deficiencies. For this syndrome, the term DGBI-induced Altered Food Intake (DGBI-AFI) has now been coined. Join us for an informative educational event focused on this condition. This free event is intended to provide clinicians with critical insights into these challenging conditions. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your expertise and improve patient care!
