Re: D and absorption of nutrients       04/21/06 09:15 AM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 IBS doesn't cause malnutrition or any other serious illness. You're right that most of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and stomach. However, if someone goes on a strict exclusion diet - that isn't monitored by a doctor or nutritionist - you can become malnutritioned by not eating enough. Diarrhea can cause you to get dehydrated and create an imbalance in electrolytes. So make sure to get plenty of liquids during an attacks. Also, you can restore electrolytes by eating rice w/ chicken or vegetable broth. If you're still worried about malnutrition, you can have blood work done. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
