Dietary treatment of chronic ulcerative colitis includes all of the following except:
  1. High calorie, high-fat, high-protein diet
  2. Supplementation with calcium, vitamin C, folic acid, and zinc
  3. Supplementation with MCT
  4. Moderate amounts of dietary fiber to stimulate bowel function
Explanation
Answer: A - Dietary treatment of chronic ulcerative colitis does not include a diet high in fat, which may worsen steatorrhea. However, high intakes of protein and calories are recommended to maintain energy balance and to promote healing. Supplementation with calcium, vitamin C, folic acid, and zinc is recommended to replace losses due to diarrhea. Supplementation with MCT (medium chain triglycerides) is useful because it does not require bile for digestion. Moderate amounts of fiber are encouraged to stimulate normal bowel function.
