How it works
Physicians’ Elemental Diet™ is a specially formulated medical food designed to support the dietary management of individuals with moderate to severe gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. This product is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). By offering a complete and easily digestible nutrition profile, Physicians’ Elemental Diet provides essential support for those who require a controlled, nutritionally complete solution under medical supervision.
The key benefit of Physicians’ Elemental Diet lies in its ability to reduce the work of digestion, giving the gut the necessary rest and time to heal. Unlike regular food, which requires significant digestive effort, the ingredients in this diet are in their simplest form, making it easy for the body to absorb. This allows patients to manage their conditions more effectively, minimizing stress on the gastrointestinal system. With a blend of macronutrients and essential micronutrients, this diet ensures that patients continue to receive the necessary nutrition while limiting further irritation to their digestive tract.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of elemental diets for individuals with impaired GI function. For example, in a study involving 93 patients with IBS and abnormal lactulose breath test scores, 80% of participants who adhered to an elemental diet saw normalization of their test results and experienced improvement in symptoms within just 14 days. In patients with Crohn’s disease, a controlled study found that 71% of participants achieved clinical remission after just 4 weeks on an elemental diet, showcasing its potential in managing more severe GI conditions.
Physicians’ Elemental Diet is hypoallergenic and free from common allergens such as gluten, soy, dairy, corn, and intact proteins. This makes it an ideal option for patients with food sensitivities. It is designed not only for its nutritional efficacy but also for ease of use, with a palatable flavor that encourages patient adherence. Whether used as a sole source of nutrition for short periods or as a therapeutic aid during flare-ups, Physicians’ Elemental Diet helps patients restore balance, improve symptoms, and promote overall gut health.
