Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract and is divided into Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis rarely indeterminate or un classified. Malnutrition is prevalent among IBD patients and is associated with risks of poor outcomes. Hence early detection of patients with or at risk of under nutrition facilitates timely referral for comprehensive dietary assessments and management to avert related complications
