secretory diarrhea

Answer 13

bacterial diarrhea

viral diarrhea

Question 14

exudative diarrhea

Answer 14

ulcerative colitis
radiation enteritis
occurs secondary to mucosal damage
accompanied by blood, mucus, and plasma proteins

Question 15

“limited mucosal contact” diarrhea

Answer 15

crohn’s

from inadequate mixing of chyme and insufficient contact of chyme with intestinal epithelium

Question 16

diarrhea nutritional therapy

Answer 16

replace water and electrolytes (chhicken broth and rice water)
fasting is contraindicated

Question 17

Diverticular disease

Answer 17

therapy - low fat, high fiber diet (45-55 g.d soluble fiber, 2-3 liters water daily, avoidance of seeds, nuts, and plant skins that may damage extravaginated secretions of colonic wall

Question 18

Dumping syndrome

Answer 18

reduction in meal size
increase in frequency
high protein, moderate fat, low starch diet
lying down after eating
avoidance of ingesting liquids with food
avoidance of simple sugars and milk
supplementation with MCTs (prevent steatorrhea); pectin (slows carb digestion, reduces osmotic load); digestive enzymes and multivitamins

Question 19

hyperlipidemia

Answer 19

restricted intake of dietary fats, simple sugars, cholesterol, alcohol, and total calories
increased intake of fiber
exercise

Question 20

Hypertension

Answer 20

sodium restriction

supplemental potassium, calcium, and magnesium

Answer 21

HCl / betaine with food

Question 22

IBD

Answer 22

butyrate enemas
oral butyrate
prebiotic/probiotic combo
pectin - stimulates recovery of damaged villi
“bowel rest” is contraindicated - starvation of enterocytes and colonocytes will exascerbate lesions and delay healing
L-glutamine (35 g/d)
omega 3s (1800-2000 mg/d EPA + 900-1200 mg/d DHA)

Boswelia, cat’s claw (Uncaria), goldenseal
Anectodal herbs:
Garlic, ginger, licorice, onion, slippery elm, turmeric, white willow bark

if nutrient def: ca, K, mg, zn, antioxidants
sulfasalazine - need folic acid

Question 23

intestinal wall distention

triggers intestinal hypermotility

Question 25

IBS

Answer 25

``` small freq meals fiber psyllium and pectin (apples) peppermint oil caraway oil hydration low fat diet avoid caffeine, simple sugars, raw veggies reduce stress ```

less than 30% from fat, 20% from sat fats, 300 mg/d of cholesterol; complex carbs should replace dietary fat omega 3 FAs and l carnitine may be used to reduce circulating triglyceride concentrations

Question 28

End stage renal disease

Answer 28

Ca - 1200-1600 mg/d elemental ca use antacids and cathartics cautiously if at all (because already hypermagnesemia so it will add to it) sodium < 3 g water 1200-2000 mL potassium not exceed 60-70 mEq per day supp with water soluble vitamins (loss of vitamins during hemodialysis)
