Ischemia is inadequate blood flow and lack of oxygen delivery within the cardiovascular system; it is not associated with malabsorptive disorders. Diarrhea and malabsorption associated with these disease states create deficiencies of nutrients and trace elements. Nutritional requirements of these patients are usually increased; however, abdominal cramping, anorexia, and intolerance to many food components often inhibit intake of food. Small, frequent feedings are advised because they are better tolerated and increase adequacy of intake. For patients with malabsorptive conditions, a diet high in kilocalories and protein with limited fat and fiber is often recommended.
