Diet Strategies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
July 10, 2013, 4:00 - 5:30 pm ET
Description:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects up to 20% of Americans. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort associated with altered bowel habits. Many individuals with IBS turn to alternative therapies including diet supplements and nutrition therapy for symptom management, either as an alternative or complement to traditional pharmacologic therapies. However, the heterogenous nature of IBS can make selecting the most
appropriate diet therapy challenging for both patients and clinicians. Traditionally, diet therapy for IBS has focused on increasing dietary fiber and reducing obvious provoking foods. In spite of this, many individuals continue to be symptomatic. FODMAPs-free and gluten-free diets are two relatively recent dietary strategies that are rapidly gaining popularity for managing patients with IBS who continue to experience symptoms in spite of traditional therapy. The primary objective of this webinar is to familiarize clinicians with FODMAPs-free and gluten-free diets including long term strategies and food re-introduction.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the theory, timing, and practice of the gluten-free diet.
- Understand the theory, timing, and practice of the FODMAPs-free diet.
- Develop a long-term management plan including food-reintroduction and transition off the FODMAP diet

Advanced Strategies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
July 22, 2013 4:00 – 5:30 pm
Description
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects up to 20% of Americans. FODMAPs-free and gluten-free diets are two relatively recent dietary strategies that are rapidly gaining popularity for managing patients with IBS who continue to experience symptoms in spite of traditional therapy. and have been discussed in part one of this webinar series. The primary objective of this webinar is to focus on next steps in managing IBS including medical and herbal therapies and food sensitivities. Additionally, the application of these specialized dietary techniques will be discussed in relation to nutrition support modalities of enteral and parenteral nutrition. Finally, a panel discussion will allow time for Q and A on these complex topics.
Learning Objectives

Pediatric/Neonatal Parenteral Nutrition: the Ins and Outs for the Non-Pediatric Clinician
August 14, 2013, 4:00 - 5:30 pm ET
Description:
Unless trained at a pediatric institution, many individuals who work daily with parenteral nutrition may be intimidated when asked to assist with parenteral nutrition in either pediatric or neonatal patients. While some of the basic principles are the same for all age groups, important differences exist when developing a parenteral nutrition regimen in the pediatric and neonatal populations. This program will focus on the indications and timing for the provision of parenteral nutrition, the differences in both macro- and micronutrient requirements, and the challenges in compounding these solutions for pediatric and neonatal patients.
Learning Objectives:
- List the indications for pediatric and neonatal parenteral nutrition
- Describe the importance of early parenteral nutrition, especially in the preterm neonatal population
- Differentiate the macro- and micronutrient needs of the pediatric and neonatal patient
- Assess the challenges to compounding parenteral nutrition solutions for pediatric and neonatal patients and develop strategies to address these situations.
Faculty and Topics:

Vitamin D: A Hot Topic Yes, but What is the Data and How Should I Treat My Patient?
September 11, 2013, 4:00 - 5:30 pm ET
Description:
Yet another presentation on vitamin D? Yes, we have heard a lot about this particular nutrient in recent years. Reports of the role of vitamin D in treating cancer, autoimmune disease, depression and a multitude of other problems in addition to bone health have us wondering – what is the optimal vitamin D regimen for my patient? What is the adequate blood level of vitamin D? Is there a relationship between vitamin D status and clinical outcome? This webinar will discuss the available evidence and current recommendations for optimal levels and dosing in the neonatal, pediatric, and adult patient. The 2010 US Institute of Medicine report will be discussed, and the controversy regarding their recommendations will be addressed.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the current literature and recommendations related to vitamin D in critically ill adults, children, and neonates
- Describe requirements for healthy children and those with chronic illnesses including disease-specific dosage ranges for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, cystic fibrosis, and intestinal failure and debate the controversies related to high dose supplementation
- Identify available vitamin D products and practical considerations for the practicing bedside clinician

A Case-based Approach to the Nutritional Management of the Critically Ill Patient
October 30, 2013 4:00 – 5:30 pm eastern
Description:
A.S.P.E.N./SCCM guidelines for the provision of nutrition support in the critically ill patient center around the benefits and preferential use of enteral over parenteral nutrition. Identification of individuals in which enteral nutrition would be
harmful is imperative to prevent nutrition support-related morbidity and mortality. During this webinar, participants
will apply these guidelines to identify appropriate candidates for enteral nutrition using a case-based format. Some areas of emphasis will include determining best method of feeding, estimating nutritional needs, effects of commonly used vasopressor agents, and considerations when using paralytic agents in the intensive care unit. Adult and pediatric populations will be included in this webinar.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine appropriate method for nutrition support provision in the critically ill patient
- Provide overview of commonly used vasopressor agents and impact on GI tract
- Identify special considerations needed when feeding a patient on paralytic agents
