The possibilities of optimizing the nutritional state are several: changing diet, enteral or parenteral nutrition or combination of both. It is necessary to arrange an entirely individual approach for ensuring the highest measure of attention and nutritional effectiveness. Methods: The influence of enteral nutrition was monitored during a course of Crohn's disease. 84 patients with malnutrition and with an active form of Crohn's disease were included in this study.
