Medical Nutrition Therapy in Colostomy Placement PRESENTED BY: COLLEEN ABBOTT
Objectives Understand the colostomy procedure. Identify the medical nutrition therapy related to a
colostomy procedure. Discuss the implications of findings to the dietetic
practice.
Normal Digestion
Colostomy Procedure
Colostomy Dependent on where the
obstruction occurs determines the location of the stoma Diverting fecal output Temporary or permanent
Stoma Formation Upper bowel is
connected to the surface of the abdomen creating a stoma.
Bowel Obstruction Two types ¡ Mechanical6 ÷ Scar
tissue from prior surgery (adhesions) ÷ Benign or malignant tumors ÷ Weakness in the abdominal wall that may trap a portion of small intestine ÷ A gallstone (that migrated into the intestine) ÷ Telescoping of the intestines ÷ Twisting of the intestines ÷ Narrowing of a portion of the intestines ¡
Functional7 ÷ No
physical blockage but the bowels are not moving food through the digestive tract
Case Study MEET XX!
Background XX 00 year-old Caucasian Female Admitted on 3/19 for: ¡ Abdominal pain ¡ Bowel obstruction ¡ Acute UTI ¡ Emesis

Past Surgical History Date
Procedure
1/22
Exploratory laparotomy with lysis of adhesions, ureteral sent placement, takedown of colostomy
7/21
Laparotomy, revision of colostomy, drainage of abscess on the left side of the abdomen and lysis of adhesions.
7/16
Colostomy via Hartmann procedure, open lysis of adhesions, and repair of hernia that developed at prior surgical site.
6/24
Exploratory laparotomy with diverting loop transverse colostomy, drainage of abdominal ascites, lysis of extensive severe intraabdominal adhesions.
5/6
Exploratory laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy for endometrial cancer.
Diet History Poor appetite prior to admission (PTA) due to
abdominal pain. Unsure of the date of her last full meal and reported mainly eating soups PTA. Patient known to nutrition staff from previous admissions Most recently in February ¡ Variable oral intake at previous admissions ranging from 0-100% oral intake of meals and supplements ¡
Consumes chocolate Ensure Complete shakes in the

Nutrition Diagnosis 1. Involuntary weight loss (NC-3.2) related to poor
appetite PTA as evidence by 19-pound (13%) weight loss in 3 months consistent with severe. 2. Inadequate energy intake (NI-1.2) related to poor
appetite PTA/ current diet order as evidence by minimal po intake PTA/ currently NPO not meeting energy needs.

Nutrition Education OSTOMATES FOOD REFERENCE CHART For individuals who have had ostomy surgery, it is important to know the effects of various foods on ileal output. The effects may vary with the remaining portion of functioning bowel. Listed below are some general guidelines of the effects of foods after ostomy surgery. Use trial and error to determine your individual tolerance. Do not be afraid to try foods that you like, just try small amounts. Stoma Obstructive Apple peels Cabbage, raw Celery Chinese vegetables Corn, whole kernel Coconuts Dried fruit Mushrooms Oranges Nuts Pineapple Popcorn Seeds Gas Producing Alcoholic bev. Beans Soy Cabbage Carbonated bev. Cauliflower Cucumbers Dairy products Chewing gum Milk Nuts Onions Radishes
Odor Producing Asparagus Baked Beans Broccoli Cabbage Cod liver oil Eggs Fish Garlic Onions Peanut butter Some vitamins Strong cheese Color Changes Asparagus Beets Food colors Iron pills Licorice Red Jello® Strawberries Tomato sauces Constipation Relief Coffee, warm/hot Cooked fruits Cooked vegetables Fresh fruits Fruit juices Water Any warm or hot beverage
Increased Stools Alcoholic bev. Whole grains Bran cereals Cooked cabbage Fresh fruits Greens, leafy Milk Prunes Raisins Raw vegetables Spices Odor Control Buttermilk Cranberry juice Orange juice Parsley Tomato juice Yogurt Diarrhea Control Applesauce Bananas Boiled rice Peanut butter Pectin supplement (fiber) Tapioca Toast
Avoid gas producing
foods Avoid odor producing foods Avoid swallowing air Chewing gum ¡ Using straws ¡ Eating quickly ¡
Nutrition Implications to the Dietetic Practice Colostomy extends to many disorders beyond large bowel
obstruction. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Crohn’s disease Ulcerative colitis Diverticulitis Cancer or trauma to the gastrointestinal tract
The amount of colon bypassed impacts the fluid and
nutrient absorption. Fluid output should be monitored to prevent dehydration. Nutrition support is needed if the diet is not able to advance timely. Nutrition education for a new ostomy.
