In this session: Adam Rudinsky, DVM, MS, DACVIM, reviews the complicated arena of fiber and how to use it in practice. Dietary therapy is the foundation of all gastrointestinal disease management, and the most critical nutrient in a majority of cases is dietary fiber. Despite this importance, dietary fiber is a vexing area due to the complexity of what fiber is and does. This session covers how to assess fiber intake, strategically adjust dietary fiber supplementation, and implement it in practice. Dr. Rudinsky also reviews key concepts such as fermentability, viscosity, and solubility as well as the outcomes associated with these factors.
