An elemental diet consists of only pre-digested/elemental nutrients (ie. amino acids, simple carbohydrates, medium chain triglycerides), and essential vitamins and minerals. It can be used asthe sole source of nutrition for a limited period of time in place of antimicrobials in the Eradication Phase to significantly decrease the bacterial overgrowth.
For patients with duodenal overgrowth or co-existing fungal overgrowth, even simple carbohydrates like maltodextrin can potentially be utilized by the bacteria/fungi before they can be absorbed by the body. By incorporating ketogenesis in Elemental Nutrition, we can further limit the food sources of the bacterial overgrowth, as well as providing a better sense of satiety.
