TLDR
The data indicate that the lower fat content was the main reason for the increased mineral absorption, although the low-fat diet contained larger amounts of the minerals studied than did the high- fat diet.
Abstract
The absorption of calcium, magnesium, and zinc was studied by the metabolic balance technique at two fat intake levels in nine patients with fat malabsorption. The net absorption of all three minerals was significantly higher from the 40-g fat diet than from the 100-g fat diet. The data indicate that the lower fat content was the main reason for the increased mineral absorption, although the low-fat diet contained larger amounts of the minerals studied than did the high-fat diet.

Nutritional absorption in short bowel syndrome. Evaluation of fluid, calorie, and divalent cation requirements.

TL;DR: Patients with short bowel syndrome, who have been stable for at least one year and who can tolerate oral diets, do not need to restrict fat or to separate fluids from solids during their meals and should increase their oral intake to 35–40 kcal/kg ideal body weight in order to counteract their increased losses.

Nutrition and fluid optimization for patients with short bowel syndrome.

TL;DR: One of the primary goals of SBS therapy is to reduce or eliminate dependence on PN/IV; optimization of EN and hydration substantially increases the probability of successful Pn/IV weaning.

Fat-reduced diet in the treatment of hyperoxaluria in patients with ileopathy

Henrik Andersson, +1 more

TL;DR: It is postulated that a low intraluminal calcium ion concentration, mainly caused by the high fatty acid content, explains the hyperoxaluria in patients with ileopathy.

Osteomalacia after small-intestinal resection

TL;DR: Osteomalacia appears to be commoner in patients with small-intestinal resection than has previously been thought, and bone biopsy is essential if all cases are detected, and high-dose parenteral vitamin-D therapy is usually effective in the treatment of osteomalacia after small- gastrointestinal resection.
