Document Summary

Reduced digestion of lactose due to low lactase activity. Gi symptoms experience after ingestion of amount of lactose greated than what the body can digest, absorb. Lactase deficiency due to congenital defect or decreased production w/ aging. Ibd that can occur anywhere in the gi tract-- most commonly in the terminal ileum, ascending colon. Triggered by environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. Ibd that occurs exclusively in the rectum, descending/sigmoid colon. Asca (detects an antibody in blood which is frequent in pts withs ibd) Fecal markers of inflammation (calprotectin, lactoferin, polymorphonuclear neutrophil elastase) Malnutrition (from decreased intake, increase requirements, malabsorption, drug interactions) Malabsorption resulting from extensive anatomical and functional loss of the small intestine. Lactose restricted diet (restriction varies per individual) Eat some dairy to increase production of lactase. Decrease oxalate intake (spinach, greens, tea, beets, almonds, etc. ) Ca, fe, zn, mg, k, se, vitamin c, May need to adjust for outlet obstruction, watery discharge, large output, odor/gas.
