Reviews
"The strongest aspect…is the frequent use of tables and the extensive appendix, which provide information in an easily accessible manner for quick reference."
— Denise Baird Schwartz, MS, RD, FADA, CNSD, Nutrition in Clinical Practice
"Practical Nutritional Support Techniques is a very well written and easily understood manual of providing nutrition support. It provides a very readable reference for understanding nutritional therapy, an area of learning that is often lacking at many training programs. I highly recommend this book to gastroenterologists."
— Mark DeLegge, MD, Practical Gastroenterology
