It's good that you're staying active and trying to maintain a healthy diet. Protein supplements like Protein X can help with muscle mass and strength building, but should not replace a balanced diet. As a growing teenager, it's important to focus on whole foods. Please consult with a pediatrician or a nutritionist to ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs safely.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?
Female | 33
A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

My mother is suffering with diabetes. She has been said to limit rice consumption. We're eating white rice in home. However,as we have heard from youtube that brown rice is good for diabetes now we switched to this.Will it make consequences in the future if over consumed?
Female | 50
Brown rice is surely a better option for diabetes than white rice which consists of more fiber and nutrients than brown rice. However, regardless of the kind of rice consumed, overconsumption can result in high blood sugar levels. Be careful to balance the number of portion sizes with other healthy foods like vegetables and lean proteins. If your mother goes through health conditions like drinking more water than usual, using the restroom frequently, or being tired all the time, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

my mother had an MVR surgery in December 2020, at the time of discharge doctor told her to avoid green leafy vegetables, cabbage and tomatoes. After one year of periodically visiting our doctor told us the same thing but now it's been 2 years we didn't visit the doctor because of some financial issue. Now my mother's PT is 12.6 and INR is 2.8. Now can she eat leafy greens?
Female | 54
Dark leafy vegetables are high in vitamin K, which can affect blood thinners like warfarin. High PT and INR levels mean it is taking longer for the blood to clot, indicating a potential risk if the levels are too high. Despite their heart health benefits, Mom must avoid leafy greens for now. The best thing is to consult a dietician for personalized advice and guidance.

Male | 12
Celiac disease can cause problems like stomach aches, exhaustion, and lack of concentration. ADHD can make it difficult for a child to focus. The diet should not only be balanced but it should also be customized to his condition. You can try fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid foods with gluten such as wheat, barley, and rye because they can damage your son's digestive system. Make sure that you consult a dietitian for proper guidance.

Not been able to eat properly since last couple of weeks. Have been losing weight significantly. Currently at 66 kg with 182cm height. Guessing poor metabolism and a slight constipation could be the cause.
Male | 25
Seems to me like you're having a problem with food and weight loss. Some possible options could be that your body is not properly digesting food which can lead to weight loss and constipation. Instead of eating large meals, try to have smaller meals more often and add plenty of fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables to your diet. Besides drinking a lot of water, being active can also enhance your metabolism. See a dietitian if the situation doesn't improve.

My 8-year-old son is a very picky eater and refuses to eat vegetables. How can I ensure he's getting all the necessary nutrients?
Female | 36
Frequently, kids are selective eaters, but they need to satisfy the proper nutrition to grow up healthy and strong. If your son avoids vegetables, you can attempt to mix them with his favorite meals such as smoothies or pasta sauce. The choice of some fruits, grains, and various types of proteins like meat, eggs, and beans as opposed to only one product will be given to kids.

My 5-year-old son is underweight for his age. What are some high-calorie, nutritious foods I can offer to help him gain weight in a healthy manner?
Male | 32
Sometimes, being too thin is also a result of not eating enough or having a quick metabolism. Some of the symptoms may be exhaustion or frequent illnesses. To promote healthy weight gain in your son, give him meals with nuts, seeds, nut butter, avocado, full-fat dairy, lean meats, and whole grains. These provide extra calories and nutrients for his growing body. Be aware that it is always a good idea to seek advice from a nutritionist or doctor before starting any program that will help you provide your children with what they need.

You are facing an issue with putting on muscle mass, although you follow a good diet. It is worth mentioning that this could also be a consequence of poor digestion. Having symptoms such as a tendency to have loose stools often could be a sign of digestive problems. Seeing a doctor's advice is a must. Including more easily Digestible foods such as bananas, rice, and toast will be helpful. Besides, taking in enough water can be effective in digestion.

Male | 57
Weight loss impacts the face if the diet lacks nutrients. Rigorous exercise burns calories. Insufficient intake causes fatigue, weakness, altered appearance. Balance matters! Fuel properly with hearty portions, and protein for muscle support. Consult a dietitian to strategize an ideal fitness diet plan.
