Abstract

While diet modifications are routinely used to support gut function and tolerance during graft versus host disease (GVHD), institutional practices vary and standardized, evidence-based guidance remains limited. Many centers offer resources for hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients who develop GVHD, but there is no standardized approach for post-transplant diet management. Many resources list food options but lack tailored recipes and guidance on managing symptoms. To help address this gap, this project synthesizes evidence on pediatric GVHD nutrition management to create two resources: an updated GVHD tip sheet for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) and a cookbook featuring GVHD-appropriate recipes, symptom management strategies, nutrition tips, food safety guidelines, and texture modification techniques for families.
