A
A diet with adequate fiber is the cornerstone of treatment, and 25 g per day is recommended. Unless the patient has a documented gluten or lactose malabsorption, avoiding these substances is not recommended. Water intake should be six to eight glasses per day. Regular walking is usually the best exercise.
