Gastric Acid volume cannot be reabsorbed by SB or CLN -Gastric acid overcomes pancreatic bicarb neutralizing capacty -->low pH --> panc enzyme...
-Gastric acid impairs Na & water absorption
2) How does SIBO cause malabsorption?
1. CHO
-bacteria damage enterocyte --> impairs disaccharidase &
monosaccarhide transport
2. Fat
-bacteria deconjugate bile acids & decrease normal bile acid pool
3. Protein
-damagse to the epithelial barrier
,-increased intestinal permeability,
decreased mucosal uptake of amino acids,
-intraluminal degradation of protein precursors by bacteria
3) How does TI disease cause malabsorption?
Decreased reabsorption of bile salt malabsorption
--> decreased normal bile salt pool
How does short bowel syndrome cause malabsorption?
1. Length of bowel
2. Site of resection
Ileal
-B12 malabsorption
-Bile salt malabsorption

3. Pancreatic insufficiency
4. Gastric surgery

-anaerobes utilize B12 coupled with IF, competing for absorption
3. Panc Insufficiency
-enzymes dissociate B12 from salivary & food proteins --> allow it to
bind to IF
4. Gastric Surgery
absence of gastric acid & pepsin --> impaired liberation of vitamin B12
from food proteins,
-->the reduced production of intrinsic factor by parietal cells
What metabolites are elevated in B12 deficiency?
-Methylmalonic acid
-Homocysteine

3. Budesonide 8-12 weeks, then taper q2 weeks

7. Resection
What factors increase/decrease chance of HCV clearance/SVR?
SVR = undetectable HCV RNA @ 6 mos after tx completion
