For peritonitis, which dietary pattern is recommended?

• A. Foods high in B-vitamins and calcium; avoid refined foods; use healthy oils
• B. High sugar and refined grains; avoid fats
• C. High fat and low protein
• D. No dietary changes recommended

Answer: (A)

Healing from peritonitis requires a nutrient-dense pattern that supports energy, tissue repair, and immune function while helping to manage inflammation. Foods rich in B-vitamins support energy metabolism and cell repair, calcium contributes to coagulation and muscle function, and healthy fats provide essential fatty acids that help modulate inflammatory processes. Avoiding refined foods reduces added sugars and refined carbohydrates that can cause blood sugar fluctuations and may hinder immune response. This combination—nutrient-rich foods with emphasis on B-vitamins and calcium, plus healthy oils—best supports recovery and healing. Patterns centered on high sugar and refined grains, or on high fat with low protein, do not provide the same support for tissue repair and immunity, and claiming no dietary changes misses opportunities to promote healing.
