Discussion Board: Digestive Diseases – What’s on the Plate?
Overview
In this module, you were introduced to diseases and disorders related to the digestive system. Use what you learned about this topic to participate in the discussion.
Instructions
Read the discussion prompts. In 200–250 words, create an initial post using the prompts to guide your content. Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts in a substantive manner. “I agree” or “Good point” are not accepted as substantive responses to your peers.
Discussion Prompts: Initial Post
1. Using the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases website, specifically the web page “Digestive Diseases,” choose a digestive disorder or disease and research it on this website. You may choose a disorder or disease that we did not cover in Module 5.
2. In one paragraph, briefly talk about the disorder or disease, and what part of the GI tract is usually affected by it.
3. In another paragraph, discuss the dietary and nutritional limitations of the disorder or disease. Then, describe the perfect dinner plate for a client who has your chosen disorder or disease. Describe specifically why you chose each item. You may use sources outside of this website for this portion of the discussion, if needed.
