Presentation description coming soon

Kelsey Russell-Murray, RD, MSc (St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital) - "Fiber in Enteral Nutrition: Optimizing Gut Health and Tolerance from Hospital to Home"

Hospitalization and critical illness can profoundly disrupt gut microbiome health, with consequences for digestion, immunity, and clinical outcomes. Fiber, once feared in critical care, is now recognized as a therapeutic tool when used appropriately in enteral nutrition. This session will explore the role of fiber in maintaining gut function across care settings—from ICU to medical units to home care. Practical strategies for fiber selection, dosing, and titration will be reviewed, along with emerging considerations for blenderized tube feeding in clinical practice.

Moderator: To be confirmed
