Brief Summary:
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasingly becoming interested in nonpharmacologic approaches to their disease. One of the most frequently asked questions of IBD patients is what they should eat. The role of diet has become very important in the prevention and treatment of IBD. Although there is a general lack of rigorous scientific evidence that demonstrates which diet is best for certain patients, several diets have become popular.
Aim of the Work To assess IBD patients' knowledge about the role of nutrition in the management of their Inflammatory Bowel Disease and the dietary beliefs, behaviors, and daily dietary practices in adult IBD patients that they make to avoid exacerbation of disease symptoms or to gain more control of bowel symptoms, keeping in mind our traditional and oriental food and food habits in Egypt.
Also to evaluate the role of one of the most common dietary regimens; the Paleolithic diet in active mild or moderate inflammatory bowel disease.

Detailed Description:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic auto-immune disorder with unclear etiology. Multiple factors play a role in the patho¬genesis of IBD. These may include diet, environmental factors, immunologic factors, infectious agents, genetic susceptibility, and the microbiome. The emergence of rapid increases in the incidence of IBD over the past several decades in low-incidence parts of the world, clearly points to the important role that the environment plays in disease develop¬ment.
In Egypt, it was noticed a marked increase in the frequency of both UC and CD diagnoses during the most recent 10 years from 1995 to 2009 and it is still rising till now .
Therefore, clinicians, along with patients, have questioned whether diet influences the onset, prognosis, and the need of drug intensification ( Figure 2 ). The ques¬tion of what to eat is the most commonly encountered question as well as the most challenging one asked to gastroenterologists managing IBD patients. At present, there is no specific IBD diet that is supported by robust data, leaving patients to seek nonmedical resources for dietary advice. Dietary intervention trials have been limited by their lack of a placebo control group and the difficulty in meticulously capturing dietary intake conjointly with the potential for complex interactions between foods. Furthermore, dietary trials may not detect significant dif¬ferences for patients undergoing withdrawal of specific drug therapies.
The lay literature has promoted several popular diets that have been touted to alleviate intestinal inflammation and have thereby been advocated for patients with IBD. These include the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD); the low-fermentable oligosaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide, and polyol (Low-FODMAP) diet; the Paleolithic diet (Paleo); and the anti-inflamma¬tory diet (IBD-AID). As patients look to complementary therapies for the management of their disease, clinicians must understand the effectiveness and the role of these dietary interventions to advise and direct patients So that it's clear that access to proper dietary guidance is an essential part of dietary self-management in IBD.However, patients learn about their food tolerances and intolerances by trial and error rather than under the guidance of a health professional. This creates the risk of (micro) nutrient deficiencies in the case of uninformed or badly informed food avoidance and strict diets. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the best possible measures are taken to control the bowel disorder. There is, however, evidence that the effectiveness of personal diets could be improved by the guidance of a professional dietary IBD service.
As a start, it is important to learn more about the current practices and beliefs of IBD patients concerning their diet.
