Study Notes
Nutritional Conditions and Recommendations
- Patients with celiac disease should primarily increase their intake of simple carbohydrates.
- A good source of zinc includes ground beef patties.
- Foods low in phenylalanine must be included in the diet for those with phenylketonuria, while high-protein foods should be avoided.
Proteins and Nutrients
- Incomplete proteins are found in plant proteins such as beans.
- A diet should consist of 10% to 35% protein and 20% to 35% fat daily.
- Whole grains serve as excellent sources of vitamin B, essential for overall health.
Dietary Guidelines
- Recommended cholesterol intake is between 200 to 300 mg per day.
- The majority of carbohydrates consumed should be polysaccharides.
- A high-fiber diet may help prevent conditions like hyperlipidemia.
Progression of Diseases and Vitamins
- Lutein, found in kale, spinach, and collard greens, slows down the progression of macular degeneration.
- Individuals should be aware of beriberi, a condition resulting from thiamine deficiency.
Weight Management
- To gain 1 pound, an excess intake of 3500 calories is necessary.
Tube Feeding and Nutrition
- When initiating enteral nutrition via intermittent tube feeding, gradually increase the formula over the first 4 to 6 feedings to reach the prescribed volume.
- If a bag of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) runs out, infuse 10% dextrose in water until a new bag is available.
Breastfeeding and Infant Nutrition
- Newborns should be offered breast milk immediately, with 8-12 feedings in a 24-hour period.
- Introduce iron-fortified cereal at 4 months of age and avoid cow’s milk until after one year.
- During the first 5 to 6 months, infants should gain 5 to 7 ounces weekly.
Storage and Usage of Breastmilk

- Thaw breast milk in the refrigerator; avoid defrosting with heat and do not refreeze unused milk.
Maternal Nutritional Needs
- Women in the second trimester should consume an additional 340 calories daily, and those in the third trimester should increase their intake by 452 calories daily.
- Recommended macronutrient distribution during pregnancy: 20% protein, 30% fat, and 50% carbohydrates.
Limitations and Special Diets
- A low-residue diet limits stool passage for patients needing fewer bowel activities.
- Foods to avoid on a kosher diet include shellfish and pork; dairy may be consumed with non-meat products.
- Patients with celiac disease should steer clear of processed foods to avoid gluten exposure.
Laboratory Findings and Pancreatitis
- Common lab findings in acute pancreatitis may include decreased serum calcium, and increased serum glucose, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin.
