CONSTIPATION

CONSTIPATION Abstract We recognize that there is much lack of agreement on a definite line of demarcation between atonic constipation and spastic constipation. But since each diet is adapted to the individual needs and is advised only on the physician's specific recommendation for a certain diet, we feel that a basic outline is necessary for each condition. SUGGESTIONS FOR A "ROUGH" DIET FOR CONSTIPATION FOODS ALLOWED Beverages: Buttermilk, weak coffee, fruit juices, Kaffee Hag, milk, postum, weak tea. Soups: Beef broth, chicken broth, mutton broth, tomato soup, veal broth, vegetable soup (cream soups made with cream and puréed vegetables). Breads: Bran bread, bran muffins, entire wheat bread. Eggs: Coddled, hard cooked, poached, scrambled over water and soft cooked. Fats: Butter, cream, oil, oleomargarine. Cereals: Bran, malt breakfast food, oatmeal, pettijohns, cracked wheat. Desserts: Apple snow, custard, gelatins, ice cream, prune whip, tapioca pudding. Fruits: Cooked—apples, apricots, cherries, cranberries, currants, figs, peaches, pears, References 1.
