Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A modest weight loss of 5 to 10 of usual body weight is associated with significant improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and plasma lipid levels, and blood glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 5

Rationale: Many people who have inflammatory bowel disease develop lactose intolerance. They develop an increased level of discomfort after ingesting products that contain lactose. People with celiac sprue should not ingest anything that contains wheat, barley, or rye. People with inflammatory bowel disease do not have to avoid wheat, barley, and rye. Children who have inflammatory bowel disease often experience growth failure in response to treatment with corticosteroids. They lose weight and are not as tall as their peers. Corticosteroids are prescribed to people with inflammatory bowel disease to decrease inflammation in their intestine and colon. Chewing gum and eating foods that contain sorbitol, raffinose, and fructose should be avoided by people who have problems with intestinal gas.
