Answer to Question 1

A, D
Avoid dairy products, red meat, margarine, butter, eggs, dried beans, peas, and raw fruits and vegetables. Cooked or canned fruits and vegetables will provide needed vitamins. Eat potassium-rich foods such as bananas and apricot nectar. Discontinue foods, nutritional supplements, and medications that may make diarrhea worse (Ensure, antacids, stool softeners). Avoid gas-producing foods. Serve warm, not hot, foods. Plan small, frequent meals. Drink plenty of fluids between meals.
