    ENTRY QUESTIONSWhich of the macronutrient assimilation is the most complex?1. Protein2. Carbohydrates3. Fat In celiac disease, which of the phases of assimilation are disturbed (may be more

    answers possible)?1. Ingestion 4. Transport2. Digestion 5. Absorption3. ExcretionWhich part of the bowel can hardly be missed (may be more answers possible)?1. Duodenum2. Jejunum3. Ileum In the treatment of fluid/ electrolyte disturbances, the following holds true1. ORS can be used to diminish the diarrhoea2. Magnesium supplements are well tolerated3. In case of treatment-resistant hypocalcemia magnesium supplements

    should be given 4. ORS can easily be home-made

    ENTRY QUESTIONSWhich of the following statements is true (may be more answers possible)?1. Oligopeptides offer a kinetic advantage over amino acids 2. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are equally easily absorbed3. Fat malabsorption cannot be influenced

    In Crohn’s disease when enteral nutrition is considered, the formula (may be more answers possible)

    1. Should always consist of polymeric feeds2. Should always be reduced in fat3. Has only a role to play in children with Crohn’s disease4. Should preferably contain oligopeptides and MCTs

    When do you think MCTs have an advantage (may be more answers possible)?1. When the pancreas function is impaired2. When there is insufficient luminal digestion3. When fat absorption is impaired4. When fat transport is impaired

    • Treatment of the diarrhoea

    • Identification and treatment of nutritional deficitsVitamins

    – Fat-soluble vitamins in polar forms or in emulsion

    • Vitamin A (Aquasol A): 2dd 40.000-50.000 IU

    • Vitamin E (Aquasol E) or d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS)

    • Vitamin D: 25-OH vitamin D (calcifediol) or 1-OH vitamin D; vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 30.000-50.000 IU/d

    • Vitamin K: 2.5-12.5 mg/d

    – Folic acid: 5 mg, later 1 mg

    – Vitamin B12: 1 mg/d im or sc 1st week, 4 weeks every week, then once a month

    Minerals

    • Iron: ferrous sulphate 3 dd 325 mg

    • Calcium: calcium carbonate 2 dd 500 mg

    • Magnesium: magnesium gluconate 1-4 g/d

    EXIT QUESTIONSWhich of the macronutrient assimilation is the most complex?1. Protein2. Carbohydrates3. FatIn celiac disease, which of the phases of assimilation are disturbed (may be more

    answers possible)?1. Ingestion 4. Transport2. Digestion 5. Absorption3. ExcretionWhich part of the bowel can hardly be missed (may be more answers possible)?1. Duodenum2. Jejunum3. Ileum In the treatment of fluid/ electrolyte disturbances, the following holds true1. ORS can be used to diminish the diarrhoea2. Magnesium supplements are well tolerated3. In case of treatment-resistant hypocalcemia magnesium supplements

    should be given 4. ORS can easily be home-made

    EXIT QUESTIONSWhich of the following statements is true (may be more answers possible)?1. Oligopeptides offer a kinetic advantage over amino acids 2. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are equally easy absorbed3. Fat malabsorption cannot be influenced

    In Crohn’s disease when enteral nutrition is considered, the formula (may be more answers possible)

    1. Should always consist of polymeric feeds2. Should always be reduced in fat3. Has only a role to play in children with Crohn’s disease4. Should preferably contain oligopeptides and MCTs

    When do you think MCTs have an advantage (may be more answers possible)?1. When the pancreas function is impaired2. When there is insufficient luminal digestion3. When fat absorption is impaired4. When fat transport is impaired

    TEACHING AIMS

    • To understand the normal assimilation of nutrients

    • To understand the 3 phases of malabsorption with representative examples

    • To recognise physical signs of malabsorption

    • To understand the diagnostic tests

    • To understand the different treatment modalities
