GI Function
Impaired GI Function
Digestive diseases can negatively impact an adult’s gastrointestinal (GI) function. Between 60-70 million Americans are affected by digestive diseases, resulting in 21.7 million hospitalizations per year.1
Impaired GI function significantly impacts the body's capacity to properly digest and absorb nutrients, resulting in malabsorption, malnutrition, and a diminished quality of life.2 This condition is commonly observed in critically ill patients and individuals with chronic GI conditions, and is closely linked to adverse clinical outcomes.3,4 Oral nutrition supplements or enteral nutrition are frequently utilized to deliver essential nutrients and help manage symptoms associated with impaired GI function in adults.
