Gastrointestinal Disorder Nutrition

Gastrointestinal Disorders that can be affected by proper nutrition include;

irritible bowel syndrome, colitis, gastritis, hiatal hernia, constipation, and flatulence.

The challenge in planning a diet for patients with GI disorders

is in individualizing the diet to accomodate each patient's specific symptoms.

Patients' food records are analyzed for nutritional adequacy and specific foods that cause gastric distress.

Many of my GI disorder patients have experienced reduced symptoms

once they had a food plan that worked with their individual lifestyles and nutrition preferences.
