]]> 2023-03-24 19:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530866828 How does IBS differ from a normal intestine? cara527 https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530869281 A typical digestive tract is lined with muscle which contracts to move food through the digestive system. With IBS, your digestive tract is lined with muscle like a normal tract, but the contractions the muscles make may be stronger and last longer than normal. This is what causes the symptoms you may be experiencing such as gas, bloating, and changes in stool.]]> 2023-03-24 19:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530869281 What are the symptoms cara527 https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530869857 IBS can have a variety of symptoms including but not limited to;
-Abdominal Pain and cramping
-Changes in bowel movement frequency
-Bloating
-Gas
-Diarrhea and Constipation
-Mucus in the stool
-Triggers to specific foods
-Nausea]]> 2023-03-24 19:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530869857 What diet plan can help? cara527 https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530876713 Depending on the type of IBS you have, there may be different food triggers. Some dietary recommendations for IBS are;
-Eat at regular meal times throughout the day. Chew well and slowly.
-Reduce insoluble fiber, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and spicy or fatty foods.
-Enjoy exercise regularly.
-Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
-Try cooking vegetables so they're easier to digest.
-Consider a low-FODMAP diet


]]> 2023-03-24 19:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530876713 What are FODMAP foods? cara527 https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2530877180 FODMAP foods are fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. An individual with IBS can benefit from eating Low-FODMAP foods. A diet high in FODMAP foods can worsen symptoms due to the indigestibility of the short-chain carbohydrates.

These are specific carbohydrates that often trigger gut symtpoms, and some that do not. For a comprehnsive list of FODMAP foods go to;

The daily recommended intake is: 15 micrograms or 600IU
Some dietary sources of Vitamin D:
-Fish (tuna, salmon, sardines)
-Fortified juice
-Fortified cereals
-Egg yolk
-Fortified dairy and alternative milks 
Vitamin D3 can also be formed when UV light is absorbed through the skin.]]> 2023-04-05 20:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2545446306 Nutrition & Bone Health: Calcium cara527 https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2545446754 Calcium is the mineral often associated with bone health for good reason. While it also plays a role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm, about 99% of calcium is stored in the bones. Ensuring the body gets enough calcium is essential for the function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts which control the creation and breakdown of bone tissue. 
The daily recommended intake is: 1000 mg
Some dietary sources of calcium:
-Green Leafy vegetables (kale, broccoli)
-Fortified foods
-Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese)
-Almonds
-Soy milk and soybeans
-Chia seeds
-Fish (salmon)

A correct balance of phosphorus and calcium is necessary for bone health because if more phosphorus is more abundant in the body than calcium, the body will use the calcium stored in bones which can cause osteoporosis. 
The daily recommended intake is: 700 milligrams
Some dietary sources of phosphorus:
-Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese)
-Salmon
-Beef
-Poultry
-Pork
-Legumes
-Nuts and seeds
-Whole wheat bread and cereal

The daily recommended intake is: 310 - 400 milligrams
Some dietary sources of magnesium:
-Almonds, cashews, peanuts
-Pumpkin seeds
-Peanut butter
-Beans
-Soybeans and soy milk

In additional to constantly feeling tired, regardless of the amount of nightly sleep, your client reports difficulty remembering routine details throughout the day, occasional sleeplessness, occasional blurred vision, unexplained skin lesions without any sense for the cause.  Laboratory test results indicate deficient levels of 
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5.  
It's probable that the patient is also deficient in Choline, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B7 (biotin).]]> 2023-04-12 23:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2552215964 B Vitamins cara527 https://padlet.com/cara527/1cp93vtfehzqbrl/wish/2552217544 Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
RDI: 14 - 16 mg
Vitamin B3 helps the body's cell change carbohydrates into energy for the body. It also plays a role in muscle contraction and the conduction of nerve signals.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)   
RDI: 1.1 - 1.3 mg
Vitamin B2 helps the body turn carbohydrates into ATP for energy in the body. It also helps break down fats and steroids to help produce energy for the body.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)   
RDI: 1.1 - 1.2 mg
Vitamin B1 is involved in basic cell functions, and is used by over 20 proteins in enzymatic reactions.

Vitamin B6                      
RDI: 1.3 - 1.5 mg
Vitamin B6 is involved in over 100 catalytic reactions. It helps the body break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It also supports immunity and brain health.

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
RDI: 5 mg
Pantothenic acid is necessary for the body to synthesize fatty acids and cholesterol. Vitamin B5 also may help lower cholesterol.

This is likely the cause of the extreme fatigue and exhaustion outlined by the patient. Luckily, there are a plethora of ways to raise these levels through diet or supplementation.
It's possible that the patient is also deficient in choline, vitamin B6, and biotin which all cause; fatigue, low-energy, and memory loss. Vitamin B6 and biotin deficiency also present as unexplained skin rashes which may explain the patient's skin lesions. 

Some Guidance for picking supplements is provided below:
Always pick a supplement that is as close to the recommended daily intake as possible, and make sure to check the drug interactions.
