Liquid Diet

Liquid Diet

Now here's where diet enters the picture. While you're recovering, you may be told to avoid foods entirely for a short period or else stick to a liquid diet. Later, your doctor may prescribe a diet that's high in fats. So expect to subsist on creamy soups, mild spaghetti, and the like until the infection heals. At the same time you'll be asked to avoid fruits, grains, vegetables, and other high-fiber foods. Sounds like just the opposite of what all the health-food articles have been saying for years, doesn't it?
