Answer to Question 1

A
It is important to consume adequate fluid along with a high-fiber diet to prevent fecal impaction. High-fiber diets are generally high in complex carbohydrates. Slightly more calcium and iron may be needed because fiber may decrease the bioavailability of these nutrients. However, diets high in fiber tend to be higher in nutrients in general. Requirements for fat-soluble vitamins are not generally affected by fiber intake.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Individuals with GERD should avoid large meals, heavily spiced foods, and fatty foods.
