Join us for this upcoming event in our Gastro Bites series — virtual webinars with leading experts.

This installment of our Gastro Bites webinar series features a spotlight on the AGA Expert Exchange — Nutrition in IBD program. Leading experts will explore evidence-based nutrition strategies as part of therapeutic care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

This comprehensive educational initiative also includes an interactive Tweetorial on X on Aug. 19 and a six-episode podcast series on AGA’s Inside Scope, releasing episodes throughout the fall and winter. Together, these resources aim to elevate clinical knowledge and practice around nutrition management in IBD.
