Nutrition Hub at UEG Week 2026

Discover the Nutrition Hub at UEG Week 2026

Explore. Taste. Learn. Connect.

Step inside the Nutrition Hub, an exciting, interactive destination created by GI Nutrition Foundation in collaboration with UEG.

“What should I eat?” is one of the first questions patients ask following a GI diagnosis. The Nutrition Hub brings nutrition science to life, helping healthcare professionals navigate that question with greater knowledge, practical tools, and confidence.

Explore evidence-based nutrition through four interactive learning stations, digital resources, a food experience, and the "Meet the Experts" presentation series, featuring leading international GI experts. Discover the latest research, learn about dietary approaches used in GI care, explore the essential role of fiber, and take away practical strategies to support nutrition conversations with patients.

Designed to go beyond the science, the Nutrition Hub is a place to discover what’s new, connect with experts, and see how evidence-based nutrition can be practical, approachable, and integrated alongside medical care.
