Answer to Question 1

B
A common dietary cause of constipation is inadequate intake of dietary fiber and fluids. Caffeine does not cause constipation. Fruit and vegetable juices add fluid, but not fiber, so they do not decrease constipation. Megacolon or Hirschsprung's disease is a nondietary and rare cause of constipation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Individuals with dumping syndrome should limit their milk intake to either 1 or fat-free as long as they are not lactose intolerant.
