90 to 95% of nutrient absorption occurs in the
first 1/2 of the small intestine
the part of the GI tract - absorbs water and electrolytes and promotes the elimination of solid wastes
large intestine
For lower GI tract and accessory organs - Nutrition Therapy is used to improve or control symptoms by
replenish losses and promote healing
liver, gallbladder and pancreas are called ? plus the play a vital role in nutrient digestion
accessory organs
liver, gallbladder, pancreas
this part of the lower GI tract - absorbs simple sugars, fat, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, water
duodenum/jejunum
this part of the lower GI tract absorbs - electrolytes, short chain fatty acids produced by GI Flora and water
colon
this part absorbs bile, vitamin B12, electrolytes , lesser amounts or vitamins and minerals and water
lleum
defined as fewer than 3 bowel movement per week - most common cause low fiber or high fat diet
constipation
nutrition therapy to treat constipation treat the cause - for most people would be to
increase fiber and fluid
pectin and psyllium - found in oats, legumes, and certain fruits and veggie (dissolve in water)
soluble fibers
cellulose found wheat bran, fruit, veggie skins (soaks up -stimulate peristalsis)
insoluble fibers
protect against Coronary heart disease Adequate Intake (AI) for fiber for women is 25g/day and for men
38g /day (men)
is a common symptom of many GI disorders and infectious diseases and is a frequent side effect of chemotherapy and radiation
diarrhea
is a regular diet that substitutes whole grains for refined grains
high-fiber diet
fiber rich foods fresh fruits, veggie, dried peas, beans
hypokalemia
metabolic acidosis
example of this type of diarrhea - lactose intolerance, dumping syndrome, tube feedings, excessive intake of sorbitol or fructose
osmotic diarrhea
(no enzyme)
bacterial, viral, protozoan and other infections cause
secretory diarrhea
goal for diarrhea
maintaining or restoring fluid and electrolyte balance
may help lessen diarrhea related to use of antibiotics and lactose intolerance
probiotics
secondary to nutrient maldigestion or from alteration
malabsoprtion
dietary intervention for malabsorption
increase calories 2000-3500 and protein 1.0-1.5 g
simple sugars glucose and galactose is absent or deficient
lactose intolerance
lactase is secreted this is secondary to GI disorders for ex. IBD - what lactose is more severe
secondary lactose
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD0 has two chronic inflammatory gi diseases are
Crohn diseasde and ulcerative colitis
caused by abnormal immune response between environment and ?
genetic factors
focus of IBD therapy for acute exacerbation of IBD is to correct
deficiencies by nutrients in a form the patient can tolerate
low fiber diet to min bowel stimulation - protein and calories are increased to facilitate healing
for IBD patient
genetic autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of proximal small intestine = assoc to certain proteins foun din wheat, barley and rye are permanent intolerance
celiac disease
no whey, barley,rye
nutrition therapy for celiac disease patient
eliminate gluten from the diet
pure oats is
gluten free
occurs when the bowel is surgically shortened to extent that the remaining bowel is unable to absorb good levels of nutrients - loss of more than 50% to 70%
Short bowel syndrome (SBS)
patients with less than 100 to 140 cm of small bowel and no colon will likely need
intestinal transplantation or permanent PN
nutrition for SBS may be provided several different combinations
oral diet with PN or EN or PN with EN
one of the most frequently diagnosed digestive disorders in a functional bowel disorder
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
is the condition which diverticula form with the intestinal lumen, most commonly in the sigmoid colon
Diverticulosis
excessive bacterial growth in the stomach or small intestine that impairs digestion and absorption may be caused by low gastric acidity
bacterial overgrowth
diverticulitis recommendation for diet
high fiber
surgically created opening (stoma) on the surface of the abdomen from the ileum
lleostomy
surgically created from colon
colostomy
flowing discharge
effluent
usually from treatment of severe IBD, intestinal lesions, obstructions or colon cancer
ileostomy and colostomy
highly active organ in metabolism of almost all nutrients
liver
fat accumulation in the liver with inflammation
steatoheptitis
inflammation of the liver caused by viral, alcohol, hepatotoxic
hepatitis
liver disease
cirrhosis
CNS advanced liver disease - short term memory loss and impaired ability to concentrate
hepatic encephalopathy
most frequent causes of hepatitis are
hep a, b, c
what does each hep a b c
hep a = food
hep b = finger stick
nutrition therapy for liver disease patient increase calories and protein - protein should be increase to
1.0 to 1.2
vitamin and mineral are needed along with high calorie and high protein diet
liver disease patient
is a treatment option for patients with sever and irreversible liver disease
liver transplantation
EN support is used if the patient tis unable to consume adequate amount of nutrition for
5 to 7 days in liver transplantation patient
is responsible for secreting enzymes needed to digest carbs, protein and fat
pancreas
pancreas also produces insulin therefore people with pancreatitis may also develop
hyperglycemia
70% cases of acute pancreatitis are caused by
alcohol abuse and gallstones
these serum level will be elevated with pancreatitis
amylase and lipase
note: lipase break down fat
risk factors for Chronic pancreatitis are
alcohol abuse and cigarette
mildly low fat diet and high protein
CP diet
nutrition therapy goal is to maintain weight, reduce steatorrhea, min pain, avoid acute attacks while meeting the patient's nutrient needs are all therapy of
Chronic pancreatitis
role in digestion is to store and release bile which prepares fat for digestion
gallbladder
formation of gallstones
cholelithiasis
inflammation of the gallbladder
cholecystitis
consists of the small and large intestines, rectum, and anus
lower GI tract
liquid or soft diet is recommended if regular textured foods irritate esophageal
varices
primary concern with people with ileostomies and colostomies are
fluid and electrolytes
this type of diet - may offer the most significant and sustained improvement in IBS syndrome
low-FODMAP
