Diarrhea/Constipation
Abstract
This chapter will discuss a case of diarrhea/constipation. Diarrhea and constipation are functional bowel disorders (FBDs) of the mid or lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These FBDs result from intestinal motility dysfunction and/or changes in intestinal fluid absorption, which in turn leads to bloating, discomfort, and occasionally, abdominal pain. Certain dietary choices aggravate these conditions, leading to serious complications. Management of diarrhea/constipation usually requires the use of medications and/or lifestyle modifications. The presently discussed case involved factors that exacerbated the conditions of diarrhea/constipation. This case serves as an example of the role of medical nutrition therapy in managing FBDs (particularly diarrhea and constipation). Moreover, this case will allow the dietetic professional to assess the causes of diarrhea/constipation in order to plan for the nutrition intervention and educate the patient about the dietary manipulations required to reduce their symptoms.
