Nutrition and Biliary Health
Wellness is influenced by the function of the body organs. Physical health
is crucially dependent on the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder; one
malfunction can devastate nutritional status. The biliary system is
comprised of the:
gallbladder
the hepatic, cystic, and common bile ducts
In this learning module, you will explore the nutritional therapies for
clients with alterations in their biliary system.
Six Dimension of GI health
There are six dimensions of health. Although each dimension can have a
significant impact on an individual's health,
intellectual
, health strategies are needed to help clients as they try to find food combinations and textures
that are aesthetically pleasing as they are forced to restrict the consumption of problematic
foods such as gluten in celiac disease.
Physical health is most affected when a gastrointestinal (GI) disorder is
chronic and intensive. Eventually, weight loss and nutrient deficiencies
pose health risks in addition to the primary disorder. Intellectual health is
tested as the patient tries to find food combinations and textures that are
aesthetically pleasing. Some disorders require constant vigilance to
restrict inadvertent consumption of problematic foods (e.g., gluten in
celiac disease). Emotional health is taxed when patients struggle with
acceptance of their dietary or physical limitations. Poorly managed
symptoms diminish psychological well-being and overall quality of life.
Social health strategies are needed to help patients handle the personal
ramifications of colostomies, dumping syndrome, and other disorders.
Spiritual health can be enhanced through yoga and meditation, which are
tied to mind and body wellness. For those with GI disorders that may
cause unexpected need for access to a bathroom, the environmental
health dimension of facilities at home, at work, and during commuting or
traveling may alter the sense of wellness.

Gallbladder
Larry is experiencing inflammation of his gallbladder due to a high fat and
high carbohydrate diet. Which of the following is the correct medical term
for this disease?
Cholangitis
Gallbladderitis
Cholecystectomy
Cholecystitis
,Two diets have the most evidence for their protective qualities: the
traditional Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop
Hypertension) diet to support biliary health. 1800 ADA diet was created to
help control diabetes and the pureed diet is used to control dysphagia or
difficulty swallowing.
Your response is correct!
Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the mucosa of
the small intestine is inflamed when foods containing gluten are
consumed. A gluten-free diet is recommended for clients with celiac
disease. Which of the following foods should the client remove from their
diet? Select all that apply.
Rye
Barley
Wheat
Rice
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the mucosa of
the small intestine is inflamed when foods containing gluten are
consumed. Gluten is a protein found in rye, barley and wheat. Rice is
gluten free.

, Biliary Colic & Low Carbohydrate
Diets
Bile and digestive enzymes are carried by the bile ducts from the liver,
gallbladder, and pancreas to the small intestine. The bile carries away
wastes from the liver and plays a role in the digestion of fats. The
gallbladder stores a portion of the bile. After an individual eats a meal,
the gallbladder contracts, emptying the gallbladder’s contents into the
small intestine.
When a person has a gallstone that is blocking the bile duct, they can
develop biliary colic with clinical manifestations such as:
A sharp cramp or dull ache in the middle to upper right quadrant of
the abdomen
Fever
Jaundice
Biliary colic is thought to be increased by diets that are high in calories, fat,
and carbohydrates. Modification of diet, to include reducing high-calorie
foods, low fat and a low carbohydrate diet, contributes to the prevention
of biliary colic.
