Nutrition is inseparably intertwined with disorders of digestion, and this compact book, written by many prominent authors, covers not only the traditional areas of nutrition, but embraces new disorders, novel therapies, and important recent developments to present a text with a distinctive collection of important, practical topics.
Chapters are dedicated to nutritional assessment, parenteral nutrition in hospitalized patients, and home nutritional support, which is needed for an increasing number of patients. The scientific basis and management of celiac disease and eosinophilic esophagitis are thoroughly discussed. Management of conditions that can impact nutritional status, such as disorders of swallowing and chronic nausea and vomiting, are described with practical steps in their management.
New and exciting developments, such as the use of probiotics in irritable bowel syndrome and antibiotic-associated diarrhea, are included, and the role of nutrition in acute pancreatitis and liver disease extensively discussed.
In addition to presenting the reader with descriptions of established endoscopic techniques of enteral access and enteral nutrition, a separate chapter is dedicated to expanding metal stents that are now increasingly used to overcome malignant obstructions of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
The epidemic of obesity is introduced by a chapter devoted to weight management by diet, exercise, and drugs, followed by a comprehensive account of bariatric surgery. The often overlooked, but vital topic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is portrayed, along with the relationship between obesity and gastrointestinal cancer as well as the role of macro- and micronutrients in preventing colon cancer. To contrast this, the role of nutrition and dietary supplements in inflammatory bowel disease is described, followed by a chapter on the short bowel syndrome, adverse effects of parenteral nutrition on the liver, and small intestine transplantation. To put these recent developments into perspective, the book begins with a chapter that recounts the history of nutritional therapy in gastrointestinal disorders.
Nutritional Management of Digestive Disorders not only covers the traditional areas of nutrition, but includes new and emerging fields to produce a unique blend of topics in a compact text.
