Nutritional GoalsNutritional Goals
• Minimize Nutritional Risk• Provide Nutrition• enhance absorption and tolerance• Maintain intestinal integrity• Favorably alter intestinal flora• Regulate immune system favorably• Address fatigue and obesity
Nutritional GoalsNutritional Goals
• Minimize nutritional risk by providing:
adequate calories, protein, carbohydrates
healthy fats, vitamins and minerals
Provide Nutrition to Enhance Provide Nutrition to Enhance Absorption and ToleranceAbsorption and Tolerance
• Whey verses Casein properties of milk• Whey empties faster (reference 1)
• Casein delays gastric emptying
• In cases of Neurologic conditions affecting gut motility, whey protein is preferred
• Mixture of protein sizes of varying length helps absorption due to dual transport of Proteins (reference 2)
Lyme can cause IBD, CeliacLyme can cause IBD, Celiac
• Genetic predisposition
• Environmental trigger (infection)
• albumin, protein absorption, folate• Calcium and fat Consider Zinc and
Iron deficiencies (references 3-6)
