This educational resource has been designed to support dietitian’s that provide nutrition education about the gastro-intestinal tract. It shows the normal gastro-intestinal tract with the position of the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.

It is a tool that can be used to discuss how a bariatric surgery changes the gastro-intestinal tract and the nutrient consequences with reference to:

• the 28 essential nutrients and key nutrient interactions
• site of absorption (duodenum, jejunum and ileum)
• the role of the stomach function to produce hydrochloric acid, pepsin and intrinsic factor (99% active absorption of vitamin B12)
