Pediatric medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is the approach used in treating some chronic conditions, such as celiac disease, using a customized nutrition plan.
A medical nutrition therapy plan depends on your child's needs. It can range from a few dietary tweaks to total parenteral nutrition (intravenous feeding). Often, MNT is the first treatment children receive to help manage conditions such as obesity and epilepsy. The goal of an MNT program is to put your child on the track to better health so other treatments or therapies can work better.
