1. Why is the new diet prescribed? (What is believed to be his problem?)Mr. Gutteman’s problem continues despite the diet change. In fact, thefrequency of diarrhea increases and by the end of the next day, he iscomplaining of severe abdominal pain. Again, he is asked some questions to probe his condition. One is whether he has traveled outside the countryrecently. He has not, reducing the possibility of infection with Shigella bacteria, which is associated with poor sanitation. Other questions: ● Do you drink alcohol and how much? (Response: “Little or none.”) ● Have you recently eaten raw eggs or a salad containing mayonnaise at a gathering?(Response: “No.”) ● Are there certain foods that seem to precipitate these attacks?
