Description
Elisavet Efthymiou and colleagues survey in 2026 Greek rheumatologists about food and nutrition in systemic sclerosis care. Gut symptoms weigh heavily in that disease, yet doctors lack agreed diet guidance for patients. Seventy-four specialists answered a questionnaire built for scleroderma care and nutrition education.
Doctors said patients most often ask for diet help to control symptoms, above general knowledge or special diet plans. Reflux topped the list of food-related worries, with bloating, heartburn, and swallowing trouble also common in their patients. Specialists backed structured support, favoring face-to-face diet visits and adding dietitians to care teams. Pain and finger ulcers were also reported in more than half of patients by most doctors.
