Topic > Celiac Disease: Celiac Sprue - 949

Eating a gluten-free diet heals damage to the intestine and prevents further damage (Rubio-tapia A). Recovery can take two to three years in adults if they maintain consistency in their diet. Also, set up a schedule so the patient can get help from a registered dietitian. A support group can also help you deal with illness and diet (Rubio-tapia A). Groups can help you share your stories and help you understand that you don't have to throw it away and go here to other success stories, or simply get advice and guidance from others who have the same problem. My nursing intervention for a patient with Celica Sprue would be to relieve the patient of irritability. Improve the patient's perspective on growth failure. Additionally, I would monitor the patient's fluid intake and output because during fluid intake this can cause the patient to become dehydrated. A Celiac Sprue patient has diarrhea, so I would provide skin care, so skin breakdown doesn't happen
