D Decreased absorption is seen in Diarrhea Chronic intestinal disease Alcoholism Malnutrition Gastric bypass surgery Malabsorption syndrome Celiac and tropical sprue 1-Iyperemesis gravidarum Long term starvation Fad diets( Fad diets often do not contain necessary amounts of thiamine) Increased depletion is seen in Diuretic therapies Peritoneal dialysis Hemodialysis (Dialysis robs thiamine from the circulation) o Alcohol is known to interfere directly with the absorption of thiamine and with the synthesis of thiamine pyrophosphate.( thiamine should always be replenished when refeeding a patient with alcoholism, as carbohydrate repletion without adequate thiamine can precipitate acute thiamine deficiency.) o Beriberi has been repoed among refugees who are relying on emergency food aids. This is due to the lack of available micronutrition supplementation Food faddism and fad diet are terms which refer to the tendency for idiosyncratic diets and eating patterns.
