Discussion 1(Nutrition)
Science
Digestive disorders are nothing new. As long as humans have consumed food, there have been problems with digestion. Many of these are better understood and currently undergoing extensive research for the connection between dietary interventions and improved health outcomes.
Identify a digestive disorder that has an impact on nutritional status. This may be due to malabsorption, decreased appetite, or anatomical issues. Consider the impact on organs we are studying this week, specifically the main organs of digestion, but some of the accessory organs may be relevant as well.
Discuss the causes, symptoms of your chosen disorder, and possible treatment options.
Include information on the role of diet in preventing, managing, or treating symptoms of the disorder. Also include how nutritional status is impacted by this disease.
Cite at least two references in your response. These can include sources in our LEO course.
