    Extractions: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex system of organs involved in the transport, digestion, and absorption of nutrients. It also plays an important role in the excretion of toxic chemicals, pathogens, and by-products of digestive processes, and in balancing the absorption and secretion of electrolytes and water. Gastrointestinal diseases that interfere with these processes can have severe consequences in the quality of life for the people that suffer from them. Medical treatments and nutrition adjustments are the primary interventions for gastrointestinal diseases; frequently used medications include anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, antibiotics, corticosteroids and antidiarrheals. The goals of treatment are to correct nutritional deficiencies, control inflammation and relieve painful symptoms. Vitamins, nutritional supplements, and balanced diets are also recommended for patients. Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a hormone that regulates the growth of the mucosal lining of the small intestine, maintaining its structure and function. Although the complete physiological function and exact mechanism of action of this peptide are still being established, preclinical studies have shown that administration of GLP-2 to animals produces a significant increase in both the mass and absorptive surface area of the inner lining of the small bowel. Intestinal absorption increased following therapeutic administration of GLP-2 in animals. In addition, based on studies done to date, GLP-2 appears to have biological activity exclusively in the GI system.

    Don t Miss gastrointestinal disorders in Athletes. Margot Putukian, MD with Carol Potera. THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE VOL 25 - NO. 11 - NOVEMBER 97  
    http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1997/11nov/putukian.htm
    
    Extractions: THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 25 - NO. 11 - NOVEMBER 97 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.

    Extractions: FUNCTIONAL BOWEL DISORDERS Contributed by the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD) and edited by the Patient Care Committee of the ACG. INTRODUCTION Doctors use the word “functional” to describe symptoms or problems when they can find no anatomical abnormalities. The problem has to do with function of the affected organs, where things don’t work or feel quite right. Symptoms of functional bowel disorders can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal system. This chapter will focus on symptoms that occur in the mid or lower abdominal area. These disorders include functional diarrhea, functional constipation, functional abdominal bloating, functional abdominal pain syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome, which will be discussed in a separate chapter. WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL DIARRHEA? In functional diarrhea, there is frequent or urgent passage of loose or watery stool (bowel movements), but no cause can be found. The diarrhea is usually chronic, meaning it can happen on a fairly regular basis over months to years. There is no one set definition of diarrhea that fits all people. The normal pattern of bowel movements varies from one person to the next. What is normal for some may be abnormal for others. In a broad sense, the “normal” bowel frequency ranges from three bowel movements per day to three per week, consisting of firm stools passed with no urgency or straining. Some people are fine outside of this range.
