Anatomy: Review• Mouth
– Salivary glands– Food chewed and mixed w/saliva. Bolus is moved
toward pharynx and swallowing is stimulated
• Esophagus: Extends from pharynx to stomach– Protected by mucus– Empty and collapsed at rest
![Page 4: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
– Esophagus is maintained empty by 2 sphincters• UES - Upper Esophageal Sphincter – first 2-3 cm of
the esophagus. Thickening of circular muscle layer which allows food to move from the mouth to the esophagus
• LES - Lower Esophageal Sphincter – (AKA Cardiac sphincter) Between esophagus and stomach.
No structural difference (no thickening) but high intraluminal pressure that keeps it closed until food needs to be dumped into the stomach. This prevents gastric reflux.
![Page 5: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Stomach– Upper portion (fundus/orad region) Storage occurs
here. Little muscle tone so it can bulge outward: “active relaxation.” Little contractile activity.
– Lower portion (body, antrum) Mixing moves contents toward antrum. With each wave, a few ml of chyme move into duodenum, but most is pushed back for more mixing w/gastric secretion (retropulsion).
– As the stomach empties, contractions begin further up the body to bring down stomach contents.
– Pyloric Sphincter connects stomach to duodenum
![Page 6: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Small Intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) bulk of nutrient absorption– structural folds in lining (less in ileum), including
villi and microvilli (brush border)– ileocecal sphincter (ileocecal valve) connects s.i. to
large intestine.
• Large Intestine (colon) bulk of fluid and electrolyte absorption
• Rectum/Anus – holding/excretion of fecal matter.

Disorders of the Mouth and Esophagus
• Difficulties Chewing (masticating) can lead to wt. loss and compromised nutritional status.
• Depending on the problem (individualized!) soft or pureed foods may be used. (remember this is just a regular diet that’s mechanically modified).– keep as wide a variety of foods as possible, and use
appropriate temperatures/variety of colors
![Page 9: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Conditions that may interfere w/chewing and swallowing:
1. Mouth ulcers (2’ viruses, drugs, radiation therapy)

2. Inadequate Saliva Production
–
–
– Encourage good oral hygiene Encourage sucking on sugarless candy/chewing sugarless gum

Difficulties Swallowing – DYSPHAGIA
• Causes:
• Diagnosis: ____________________________, x-ray, measurement of UES pressure, fluoroscopy.

Watch for:
aspiration
food caught in trachea/lungs
“Silent” aspiration:

Nutrition Therapy
• Individualized according to pt.’s particular swallowing problem
• Mechanical soft “solids” and smooth or thickened liquids are easiest to handle –
• Tube feedings may be necessary– TF into stomach still risks aspiration pneumonia– Safer:

Disorders of the Esophagus and Stomach
Indigestion and Reflux Esophagitis (GERD)
• Indigestion (dyspepsia) = vague term for epigastric pain, fullness, early satiety, belching, hiccups, heartburn and regurgitation of stomach acid into the esophagus.
![Page 17: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Recurrent acid reflux irritation of esophageal mucosa
• Severe inflammation may cause:

• Small meals w/ fluids between meals
• Eat slowly, relax, chew food thoroughly
• Elevate head of bed and/or refrain from lying down after eating.
• Avoid tight clothing that increases abdominal pressure.

Drug Therapy
• Antacids
• Antiulcer agents
• Cholinergics –
![Page 22: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Protrusion of stomach into the chest cavity through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm
Normally, the LES sits right in the hiatus of the diaphragm and is reinforced by it.
Hiatal Hernia –
![Page 23: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cause: hiatus weakens allowing a portion of the stomach to protrude above the diaphragm.
Most common: “sliding” hiatal hernia.
Pressure generated by the hernia is sufficient to force acidic stomach contents into the esophagus.
Nutrition Therapy
Same as for reflux esophagitis.

• Acute Gastritis:
– asprin/alcohol use, food allergies, food poisoning, radiation therapy, metabolic stress, bacterial infection

• Causes: – – – Disorders that cause excessive gastric acid production (less
common)– Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: tumor in pancreas secretes excessive
amts. of gastrin, causing hypersecretion of gastric acid, ulcers
![Page 29: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Gastric Surgery
• Gastrectomy –

• Nutritional consequences– If duodenum is bypassed:

• Patients are required to take nutritional supplements that usually prevent these deficiencies.
– Dumping Syndrome:
Mr. C had extensive gastric resection 1 wk ago, and has just begun to eat solids. About 15 minutes after eating he begins to feel weak and dizzy. He looks pale, his heart beats rapidly, and he breaks out into a sweat. Shortly thereafter, he develops diarrhea. What has happened?
![Page 36: Upper GI NFSC 370 - Clinical Nutrition McCafferty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649d135503460f949e7769/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Pylorus removed
• Partially digested food is “dumped” into the
jejunum
–
–
• Fluid from body (capillaries) enters jejunum – –
• Result:

The pt. may experience the same symptoms again a few hours later… why?
•
• Most people who experience dumping gradually adapt to a fairly regular diet.

Nutrition Therapy: The Post-Gastrectomy Diet
– NPO post-surgically for several days.
• Advanced to liquids, then solids.
–
–
–
– High protein, moderate fat
– ADAT (close monitoring of tolerances)
– Monitor fluid and lytes/hydration

Nutrition-related Gastrectomy Complications
• Weight loss, malabsorption, nutrient deficiencies.– Limited intake 2 early satiety, post-surgical pain, &
dumping – Reflux esophagitis– Prot and fat malabsorption
• Normally, food entering the duodenum triggers the release of hormones such as CCKsecretion of digestive enzymes & bile.
• Duodenum bypassed: fat D&A interrupted. • Accelerated transit of food absorption
