How it works
Physicians’ Elemental Diet™ is a specialized medical food designed to support individuals with moderate to severe impaired gastrointestinal (GI) function. This product is ideal for patients dealing with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), providing the essential nutrients needed for optimal health while giving the digestive system a chance to rest and heal. When used under medical supervision, Physicians’ Elemental Diet can serve as the sole source of nutrition, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive support during recovery.
This elemental diet works by offering a precise blend of macronutrients in their simplest, most easily digestible forms. With no intact proteins, polypeptides, corn, gluten, soy, or dairy, this hypoallergenic formula minimizes the burden on the digestive system while supplying vital nutrients, electrolytes, and micronutrients necessary for overall health. It is specifically designed to help manage symptoms and provide nutrition during periods when other food options may aggravate GI conditions. The easy-to-consume formula is also designed to encourage adherence, with a well-tolerated flavor to make the transition to an elemental diet easier for patients.
Clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of elemental diets in managing GI conditions. In one study, 80% of patients with IBS and abnormal lactulose breath test results saw normalization after just 14 days of an elemental diet, with significant improvement in clinical symptoms. Additionally, elemental diets have been proven effective for patients with IBD. A study involving 28 patients with active Crohn’s disease showed that 71% of those on an elemental diet achieved clinical remission after just 4 weeks, demonstrating the powerful impact of this nutrition-based approach.
Physicians’ Elemental Diet offers a solution for individuals who need nutritional support while managing chronic GI conditions. By reducing the work of digestion, it allows the gut to rest and recuperate, promoting faster recovery and symptom relief. With this product, patients can ensure they are receiving optimal nutrition while supporting their body’s ability to heal and function properly, making it a vital tool for those with compromised digestive health.
