thank you so much for tuning in if

0:16

0:18
that i post
0:19
so on today's video we are going to talk
0:21
about inflammatory bowel disease and
0:23
this is simply chronic inflammation of
0:25
your digestive tract so the digestive
0:28
tract starts all the way from your mouth
0:30
to the esophagus to the stomach to the
0:33
small intestines large intestines the
0:35
rectum through the anus so when the
0:38
digestive tract is inflamed it may bring
0:41
certain signs and symptoms which is also
0:44
different
0:45
depending on how severe the inflammation
0:47
is and where exactly in your body the
0:50
inflammation is so the common signs and
0:52
symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease
0:54
may include a very reduced food intake
0:57
as a result of nausea we also have
1:00
diarrhea we also have um
1:02
bleeding which may need to for anemia
1:06
fatigue and intentional weight loss and
1:08
so much many other symptoms we are
1:11
talking about inflammatory bowel disease
1:13
in relationship to
1:15
your nutritional status and malnutrition
1:17
okay in the digestive tract that is
1:19
where food get digested and nutrients
1:21
get up so so when it's inflamed that
1:24
make that means it may not be able to
1:26
function as it should and most of the
1:28
nutrients are not going to be absorbed
1:30
in the body so this predisposes you into
1:32
malnutrition also nutrient deficiencies
1:35
so when you're talking about these signs
1:36
and symptoms of ibd we are going to talk
1:38
about the reduced food intake as a
1:40
result of nausea most people know they
1:42
are not able to eat as they should and
1:44
therefore this may lead to an
1:45
intentional weight loss malnutrition and
1:48
even nutrient deficiency like i've
1:49
already mentioned before another common
1:52
sign of inflammatory bowel disease is
1:55
malabsorption of the carbohydrates of
1:57
the proteins
1:58
of their fats so
2:00
when there is malabsorption that means
2:02
the small intestines are not big are not
2:04
being able to absorb the nutrients from
2:06
your food into your system as they
2:09
should and therefore this of course
2:12
predisposes you into nutrient deficiency
2:14
anemia because of
2:16
iron deficiency vitamin b12 deficiency
2:20
fat soluble vitamins deficiencies and so
2:23
much more so in addition to that
2:25
carbohydrate molecule can lead to
2:27
bloating and gas into the stomach
2:29
abdominal pain which can be very very
2:32
uncomfortable
2:33
so going forward we talk about diarrhea
2:36
as a result of fat malabsorption you may
2:39
develop diarrhea in the area leads to
2:41
lose loss of so much fluids in addition
2:44
to nutrients vitamin minerals and so
2:47
much more so diarrhea also predisposes
2:50
you into dehydration
2:52
loss of vitamins loss of nutrients and
2:54
therefore malnutrition
2:57
also we are talking about bleeding
2:59
through the vomiting through bloody
3:01
stool this
3:02
also can lead into anemia can lead into
3:05
fatigue
3:06
so how do we manage inflammatory bowel
3:08
disease nutritionally what is the
3:10
nutrition management so in this case we
3:13
are talking about food
3:15
you're talking about you already have
3:16
these signs and symptoms so you need to
3:18
know which foods you should choose that
3:20
can help you manage the condition with
3:22
ease so point number one that is very
3:25
very important is we are dealing with
3:27
someone with a very reduced food intake
3:29
as a result of nausea so we need to
3:31
consider small frequent meals
3:34
okay rather than large meals okay this
3:37
person is able to retain and absorb
3:40
these nutrients from small amounts of
3:41
food over time because too much food may
3:44
also lead into more vomiting and nausea
3:47
at the same time
3:48
also another thing to consider is that
3:50
we are talking about inflammation so
3:52
your digestive tract is inflamed so you
3:54
don't want to take in foods that are
3:56
going to be harsh on your digestive
3:58
tract in this case i'm talking about
3:59
alcohol taking too much alcohol
4:02
to spiced foods
4:04
citrus fruits can really provoke your
4:06
digestive
4:07
tract even more and you don't want to to
4:10
get into
4:12
more problems rather you want to ease
4:13
the problem another thing to consider is
4:16
to manage the diarrhea you're losing too
4:18
many fluids you mean losing too many
4:20
nutrients at the same time so you really
4:22
need to up your game when it comes to
4:24
water intake take more water so that you
4:26
don't get into dehydration you don't get
4:28
into
4:29
um electrolyte balance like i've already
4:31
mentioned fatigue etc when you're
4:34
talking about diarrhea we also need to
4:36
avoid foods that are so much sugary
4:39
fatty foods because these foods will
4:41
tend to increase diarrhea so
4:44
bananas rice you know bread these foods
4:47
can be so much better as compared to
4:49
fried foods like chips and also because
4:52
of malabsorption which may lead to
4:53
bloating and gas in your stomach we
4:55
really need to avoid the foods that are
4:57
full of gas we are talking about the
4:59
cabbage beans carbonated drinks because
5:03
this will bring more gas into your
5:04
stomach and it will be very very
5:06
uncomfortable for you and lastly in case
5:08
of nutrient deficiency you need to get
5:10
prescribed supplements for your vitamins
5:13
especially the fat soluble vitamin and
5:15
the ion supplementation because of
5:17
anemia you really need to to get them
5:20
prescribed so that you don't
5:22
overdo we have discussed what
5:24
information boiled disease is we have
5:26
discussed what the signs and symptoms
5:28
are and we have discussed about the
5:30
foods that you need to eat and those
5:31
that you need to avoid when you have
5:32
inflammatory bowel disease
5:35
