Very low residue diet is given in :

  • A.Diabetes
  • B.Burns
  • C.Diarrhoea
  • D.Atherosclerosis

Answer: C

A very low residue diet is given in diarrhoea.

A low residue diet restricts fibre and other foods that leave undigested material in the bowel, so it reduces the volume and frequency of stools and rests the intestine. It is used in diarrhoea, in inflammatory bowel conditions during flare-ups and before and after bowel surgery.

Diabetes and atherosclerosis are managed with diets that are high, not low, in fibre, and burns call for a high-energy, high-protein diet.
