Site Search Clinical Information Clinical Study Gastrointestinal Disorders Of the tested animals, 114 dogs and 19 cats also displayed symptoms of gastrointestinal disturbance (parasites excluded) including vomiting, irregular stool patterns, weight loss and general weakness. Their diets were adjusted, taking into account these considerations. Treatment was generally started with a 24-48 hour fast. The animals were then often given a chicken-base broth, followed by raw chopped meat. Other whole foods, including cottage cheese and cooked oatmeal were added gradually as long as diarrhea did not develop or get worse. This diet continued for between two and five weeks, depending on the severity and history of the problem. PHD was gradually introduced several days to two weeks after the raw meat, until a diet of one-third whole food to two-thirds PHD was reached. The animal was fed this way for the rest of the test. Cats were not always given oatmeal but a variety of raw meats; blanched, often pureed raw vegetables; and other whole foods. As with the dogs, the PHD was gradually introduced to the same proportions. In virtually all cases the digestive tract returned to normal within one to three weeks unless the pancreas, or large intestine were found to have been compromised (history of pancreatitis and/or parasites). In only 3% of cats and 2% of dogs was there a need for further medical intervention.

83. Feline Gastrointestinal Disorders Pet News. Feline gastrointestinal disorders. These formulas have been developedfor the nutritional management of gastrointestinal disorders in cats. http://www.petevents.com.au/news_articles/51.shtml

Pet News Feline Gastrointestinal Disorders The Iams Company is pleased to announce the addition of two new formulas to the Eukanuba Veterinary Diets range. These formulas have been developed for the nutritional management of gastrointestinal disorders in cats. Says veterinarian Dr Lorraine Golland, Veterinary Marketing Manager for The Iams Company, "Gone is the old belief that nutrition has no active role to play in managing gastrointestinal disease. Allowing the gut to rest does not necessarily mean starving the GI tract - or the body - of important nutrients." "While a range of disease conditions can affect the digestive tract of cats, a few key pathological findings occur in many of these disorders," says Dr Golland. "For example, intestinal bacterial overgrowth, inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, and osmotic diarrhoea are frequently part of the overall clinical picture. With the new Low-Residue products, we are targeting these common pathophysiological aspects of GI disease, which means we can use nutrition to assist in the management of a whole host of GI conditions." Eukanuba Veterinary Diets Low-Residue Adult/Feline formulas are prepared with animal proteins of the highest quality to maximise digestibility and to provide outstanding palatability. "This is an important consideration when managing cats whose disease condition may have adversely affected their appetite and ability to maintain a healthy bodyweight," says Dr Golland. "The formulas also contain a special blend of fibres, including beet pulp fibre, FOS and MOS to promote intestinal health and help normalise intestinal microflora; Iams' targeted 5:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids; and reduced fat levels to minimise steatorrhoea. Of course, being designed specifically for adult cats, the Low-Residue formulas naturally encourage acidic urine production to help maintain feline urinary tract health."

var TlxPgNm='gastrointestinal_disorders_in_ferrets'; Gastrointestinal Disorders in Ferrets (GI blockages and ECE) Gastrointestinal Blockages Gastrointestinal blockages are one of the major causes of premature ferret death. Symptoms may include: Vomiting, lack of appetite or not eating or drinking at all, straining when using the bathroom and producing no bowel movement or "skinny" stool, weakness, and diarrhea. It is very important to take your ferret to a veterinarian as soon as these symptoms begin. Ferrets with blockages can die in a matter of days. They can become seriously dehydrated within a day if they are vomiting or not taking in any fluids. If you suspect your ferret has a blockage, don't attempt to treat your ferret at home with ferret or cat laxatives. Rather, quickly look around the house for the item your ferret may have ingested (check their toys, look under the bed, under furniture and in their favorite hiding places) and take your ferret to a veterinarian immediately. Your veterinarian will usually attempt to take an X-ray or use ultra sound to find the blockage. Unfortunately, surgery is almost always needed, so be prepared to make that decision. Blockages can occur from foreign bodies your ferret has eaten, hair balls, or abnormal swelling or scaring of intestinal tissue.

Don't Miss Gastrointestinal Disorders in Athletes Margot Putukian, MD with Carol Potera THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 25 - NO. 11 - NOVEMBER 97 This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables. In Brief: Gastrointestinal symptoms in physically active persons can be caused by gut ischemia, dehydration, the use of tobacco and alcohol, medications, and certain foods and fluids. Exercise may also unmask underlying medical problems, the more serious being inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, and malignancy. Athletes often ignore or are reluctant to talk about symptoms, so physicians must ask specific questions. Diagnosis requires checking orthostatic blood pressure to detect dehydration and conducting a thorough physical examination. Laboratory tests may include a complete blood count, iron studies, thyroid and occult-blood tests, and stool cultures. Treatment may include simple dietary or exercise modifications or medications. Antidiarrheal medications, however, may cause troublesome central nervous system side effects. G astrointestinal (GI) problems are common among athletes. Exercise-related symptoms in the upper GI tract can include nausea, bloating, heartburn, and acid reflux; symptoms of the lower GI tract may include diarrhea, the urge to defecate, and rectal bleeding (1). Such symptoms are often seen as a natural result of sports participation and hard training, so an athlete may ignore symptoms and seek medical care only when they become severe enough to interfere with performance. Unfortunately, GI symptoms can signal more serious conditions, such as "food poisoning," inflammatory bowel disease, or cancer, and physicians must not assume that athletes are immune to these.

Site Map Digest This! Common GI Problems Common GI Problems in Women ... GI Physician Locator WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS IN WOMEN Robyn G. Karlstadt, M.D., FACG Normal Physiology It is important to understand how the GI tract works normally and to identify differences in men and women which may be associated with possible worsening of GI problems. These differences start with the tongue. More women can be classified as "supertasters" - they are able to taste both bitter and sweet foods more strongly than men. They don't need as much of the food to determine if the food is bitter or sweet. This increased sensitivity of the gut to different types of stimulation is seen throughout the women's GI tract. Normal women have been shown to be more sensitive to pressure from an inflated balloon placed in the esophagus (swallowing tube between the mouth and the stomach) , small intestine, colon or large intestine, and rectum than men. Esophagus The GI tract muscles in women may function differently compared with men. Between the end of the esophagus and the beginning of the stomach, there is muscle which acts like a door. When one eats, the door opens allowing the food to slide into the stomach and then quickly closes again, preventing the food from flowing back up into the esophagus. The muscle in women, especially premenopausal women, squeezes shut with more force than that found in men, making certain that the food and stomach juices stay in the stomach. There is a similar muscle protecting the windpipe from esophageal backflow. In women, tests have shown that after drinking fluids, this muscle tightens more than in men. In part due to this finding, women may have more occurrences of "globus" (the feeling of a "lump in the throat") that is not necessarily associated with swallowing food. However, overall these strong muscles suggest that women may have some extra protection in the esophagus, normally.

Press Releases Alternative Therapies for Gastrointestinal Disorders Gain Acceptance Among Consumers Contact: Sharon Burns Stacey Ward NEW YORK, October 16, 2000 This study presented at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) (October 16- 18th) indicates a rise in the public's acceptance of alternative therapies for gastrointestinal disorders, especially when standard or conventional therapies do not eliminate all the symptoms. Scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center and George Washington Hospital in Washington, D.C., surveyed 52 men and 98 women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to determine the prevalence of alternative medical practices. IBD is a common medical disorder characterized by chronic irritation of the lining of the small intestine or colon which is generally associated with diarrhea, and may be associated with fistula, bleeding and bowel obstruction. "Alternative medicine practices are used more commonly in the United States than conventional wisdom suggests," said lead investigator Marie Borum, M.D., of Georgetown. "About 33 percent of our sample population of 150 patients with IBD used alternative medicine practices, and of these patients, 95 percent were taking conventional medications concurrently."

To appreciate the depth of our research experience it is necessary to understand certain principles of the digestive system, which are discussed below. Early developments in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders Diarrhoea research Forty years ago the most effective antidiarrhoeal drugs were opiates. However, they can cause serious side-effects and are highly addictive. The challenge facing our researchers was to find a compound that retained its activity in the GI tract while minimizing its effects on the nervous system. This required many years of painstaking research and involved a time-consuming process of synthesizing and testing opiate-like compounds.

GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS Gastrointestinal disorder affects sixty to seventy million people in the United States. They vary from mild to severe in symptoms and prognosis. Gastro Esophageal Reflex disease: Contents of stomach back up into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation and chest pain. If severe, it can erode the lining of the esophagus, increasing cancer risk. A hiatel hernia is a common cause (where the upper part of the stomach pokes up into the esophagus). Treatment can include dietary changes, medication and in extreme cases, surgery. Dietary Treatment Consume a bland diet, no caffeine, aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs. Eat adequate protein and less fat. Eat regular meals plus two to three snacks per day. DO NOT lie down until two to three hours after eating. If you are overweight: Lose weight and avoid tight clothing around the waist. Ulcer Disease Mostly caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, ulcer disease erodes the lining of the stomach and the first part of the intestines. A dull, gnawing ache, along with bloat, nausea, heartburn, or/and reflux are typical symptoms. Treatment may include antibodies and medication to reduce acid secretion. A bland diet may be helpful when discomfort is present. Dietary Treatment Avoid spicy foods, citrus and caffeine.

Commonly diagnosed disorders include Colitis: Inflammation of the large intestine that causes frequent and often painful defecation and diarrhea which may contain mucus and blood. Constipation: Commonly caused by dietary and environmental factors, constipation results in infrequent or difficult evacuation of the feces or stool. The feces are usually hard and dry which increases straining and reduces stool volume. Diarrhea: Originating from either the small intestine or large intestine, diarrhea is characterized by abnormally frequent, watery or soft stools. Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas that results in a loss of appetite and frequent vomiting and diarrhea, which may contain blood. Easy digestion and absorption are essential for your pet to be able to build and repair tissues and to obtain vital energy.

Colorectal cancer describes cancers of both the colon and the rectum, both of which are part of the large intestine. While colorectal cancer is now the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States, there is good reason for hope. Colorectal cancer deaths are decreasing each year. Much of this progress is due to screening tests that are recommended for both men and women, as well as improved treatments. Before colorectal cancer develops, visible changes often occur in the lining of the colon or rectum. One kind of change is a growth of polyps, which can be removed before becoming an adenocarcinoma a cancer of the cells that line the inside of the colon and recturm. More than 95 percent of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas. According to the American Cancer Society, about 94,700 new cases of colon cancer and 34,700 new cases of rectal cancer will occur in the United States this year. Colon cancer will result in about 47,900 deaths and rectal cancer for about 8,700 deaths.
