The proposed case will discuss irritable bowel syndrome. Individualized medical nutrition therapy is critical in the disease management. In this case, the learner will be provided with details to conceptualize the case and will be able to conduct a comprehensive nutrition assessment to evaluate the nutritional status. After identifying and prioritizing nutrition problems, the learner will determine the nutrition diagnoses and write proper statements. Based on the collected data, the learner will develop a nutrition care plan with appropriate goals, interventions, and strategies for monitoring and evaluation. Unspecified-IBS encounter challenges with food as it triggers the symptoms. Thus, the learner will evaluate the nutrient composition of dietary history and provide a substitute considering individual tolerance and severity of the symptoms. In addition, FODMAP will be applied. It also teaches patients what foods or eating patterns would be best (or best to avoid) for their day-to-day activities through self-awareness of symptoms and dietary food log.

This chapter presents a case scenario of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest and absorb lactose, which is the sugar in milk, due to deficiency of the enzyme lactase. This condition commonly occurs after weaning, and it results in various gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea. In addition, it may result in nutritional deficiencies. Management of lactose intolerance requires diet manipulations. This case study provides the needed information to implement the appropriate intervention such as patient's details and case history. Moreover, the case analysis section discusses in detail the disease pathophysiology and the medical nutrition therapy goals. This comprehensive analysis will allow the dietetic professional to follow the nutrition care process (NCP) framework (assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring and evaluation) to properly intervene and deal with the case. This case study will show the importance of the medical nutrition therapy for the management of lactose intolerance.

AbstractGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy disorder and the incidence is increasing worldwide. GDM is associated with adverse maternal outcomes which may be reduced with proper management. Lifestyle modification in the form of medical nutrition therapy and physical activity, as well as self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, is the cornerstone of GDM management. Inevitably, the search for the “ultimate” diet prescription has been ongoing. Identifying the amount and type of carbohydrate to maintain blood glucose levels below targets while balancing the nutritional requirements of pregnancy and achieving gestational weight gain within recommendations is challenging. Recent developments in the area of the gut microbiota and its impact on glycemic response add another layer of complexity to the success of medical nutrition therapy. This review critically explores the challenges to dietary prescription for GDM and why utopia may never be found.
