Facilitator Notes
Prior to presenting to your group, print out the final slide in A4 size and use this for your participants worksheet.
It is recommended not to print out the presentation for use during the presentation
The presentation will provide 1 refresher example for your participants and then proceed with case example.
The presentation is designed so that your participants complete the diagnosis section first followed with a discussion about the most appropriate diagnosis to use. The completion of the PES statement should only be completed after this discussion.

7. All Possible Diagnoses
Excessive bioactive substance intake (specify) (NI 4.2)
Less than optimal intake of types of carbohydrate (specify) (NI – 5.8.3) ie: fructose, lactose, sorbitol
Less than optimal intake of types of proteins or amino acids (specify) (NI 5.7.3)
Food and Nutrition knowledge deficit (NB – 1.1)
Inconsistent Carbohydrate Intake (NI-5.8.4)
Altered Gastrointestinal (GI) function (NC-1.4)
Inadequate Carbohydrate Intake (NI-5.8.1)
Undesirable food choices (NB-1.7)
Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014

8. Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014
Key Diagnoses
Most appropriate diagnoses for this case study:
Less than optimal intake of types of carbohydrate (specify) (NI – 5.8.3) ie: fructose, lactose, sorbitol
Food and Nutrition knowledge deficit (NB – 1.1)
Altered Gastrointestinal (GI) function (NC-1.4)
Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014

9. Other diagnosis’s and reason/s why you might not use them:
Excessive bioactive substance intake (NI-4.2) - FODMaPs are not bioactive substances
Less than optimal intake of types of proteins or amino acids (specify) (NI-5.7.3) – FODMaPs are not protein or amino acids
Inconsistent Carbohydrate Intake (NI-5.8.4) – has to do with blood glucose levels
Inadequate Carbohydrate Intake (NI-5.8.1) – lower intake of carbohydrate compared to reference standards
Undesirable food choices (NB-1.7) – has to do with inconsistency in regards to dietary reference intake standards
Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014

11. Evaluating your PES Statement
When developing your PES statements, think about the following:
{ } can the dietitian resolve the nutrition diagnosis?
{ } if tossing up between 2 diagnoses, attempt to select the INTAKE domain first
{ } is the aetiology the “root cause” (ask “but why”)
{ } will measuring the ‘signs and symptoms’ tell you if the problem is resolved?
{ } are the signs and symptoms specific enough that you can measure them?

12. Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014
PES statement 1
Less than optimal intake of types of carbohydrate (NI – 5.8.3) ie: fructose, lactose and sorbitol
related to new diagnosis of fructose, lactose and sorbitol malabsorption based on hydrogen breath tests
as evidenced by GIT symptoms - abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence and frequent loose bowel motions ( ~ 6 per day) and positive intake of fructose, lactose and sorbitol containing foods
Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014

13. Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014
PES statement 2
Food and Nutrition knowledge deficit (NB – 1.1)
related to no previous education or understanding of the details of sugar malabsorption required for a low FODMaP diet
as evidenced by patient unable to identify foods high in fructose, lactose and sorbitol and such foods being present in diet history.
Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014

14. Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014
PES statement 3
Altered Gastrointestinal (GI) function (NC-1.4)
related to malabsorption of fructose, lactose and sorbitol
as evidenced by positive hydrogen breath tests indicating fructose, lactose and sorbitol malabsorption, GIT symptoms - abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence and frequent loose bowel motions ( ~ 6 per day) and positive intake of fructose, lactose and sorbitol containing foods
Victorian ADIME/IDNT Working Party Version 3: May 2014

15. If NO Hydrogen breath tests?
Unable to make a diagnosis on the initial consultation. In this case it would be a ‘suspected diagnosis’ which can be confirmed on review consultations.
