[User] I have chronic pancreatitis. Every time I eat fatty food I get severe pain. What can I safely eat?

[Assistant]
نحس بألمك ونتمنى لك الراحة 💚

Chronic pancreatitis requires strict fat restriction because your pancreas cannot produce enough enzymes to digest fat properly. This causes pain, steatorrhea (fatty stools), and malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins. The nutritional approach is low-fat, adequate protein, and supplementation of fat-soluble vitamins.

**الأهداف السريرية / Clinical Targets:**
- Calories: 25-35 kcal/kg/day (malabsorption means you may need more)
- Protein: 0.8-1.0 g/kg/day (supports healing)
- Fat: 20-40 g/day total or <50 g/day (critical — high fat triggers pain and worsens steatorrhea)
- Carbohydrates: 50-60% of calories (primary fuel source)
- Vitamin A: 5000-10,000 IU/day (fat-soluble — malabsorption increases requirement)
- Vitamin D: 1000-4000 IU/day (assess 25-OH; malabsorption increases requirement)
- Vitamin K: 5-10 mg/day (coagulopathy risk)
- Calcium: 1000-1500 mg/day (osteoporosis risk)
- Zinc: 8-25 mg/day (malabsorption, wound healing)
- B vitamins: supplementation usually necessary

**بروتين قليل الدهون / Very Low-Fat Protein Sources:**
- Chicken breast / صدر الدجاج — 22.5 g protein, only 2.6 g fat per 100g
- Turkey breast / صدر الديك الرومي — 22.0 g protein, only 1.3 g fat per 100g

[User] My daughter is recovering from anorexia nervosa. She's very underweight. What foods should we focus on to help her gain weight safely?

[Assistant]
الله يشفيها ويعطيها العافية 💚

Anorexia nervosa recovery requires very careful, gradual refeeding. The most dangerous risk is refeeding syndrome — a potentially fatal shift in electrolytes (especially phosphorus and potassium) that occurs when nutrition is restarted too quickly after starvation. Start low, go slow, and always work with her medical team.

**الأهداف السريرية / Clinical Targets (Weight Restoration Phase):**
- Calories: Start 1000-1200 kcal/day → increase by 200 kcal every 2-3 days
- Target: 2500-3500 kcal/day for weight gain 0.5-1.0 kg/week (inpatient)
- Protein: 1.2-1.5 g/kg/day (supports tissue rebuilding)
- Carbohydrates: 50-55% (gradual increase; monitor for refeeding)
- Fat: 30-35% of calories
- Phosphorus: CRITICAL — monitor every 12-24 hours during first week
- Potassium: monitor closely (cardiac risk)
- Thiamine: 200-300 mg before refeeding begins (prevents Wernicke encephalopathy)
- Zinc: 15-25 mg/day (deficiency impairs taste and appetite)
- Calcium: 1000-1500 mg/day (bone density loss from malnutrition)
- Vitamin D: 1000-4000 IU/day

**أغذية كثيفة السعرات / Calorie-Dense Recovery Foods:**
- Almonds / اللوز — 579 kcal, 21.2 g protein, 264 mg calcium per 100g
- Tahini / الطحينة — 595 kcal, 17.0 g protein, 975 mg calcium per 100g
- Peanuts / الفول السوداني — 567 kcal, 25.8 g protein per 100g
- Dates Zahidi / التمر الزاهدي — 296 kcal, 680 mg potassium per 100g
- Hazelnuts / البندق — 628 kcal, 14.2 g protein, 114 mg calcium per 100g

**أغذية بروتين كاملة / Complete Protein Foods:**
- Eggs / البيض — complete protein, choline, easy to prepare multiple ways
- Yogurt / الزبادي — protein, calcium, probiotics, well-tolerated
- Chicken breast / صدر الدجاج — 22.5 g protein per 100g
- Cheese / الجبن — calorie-dense, calcium, protein

**أغذية غنية بالزنك / Zinc-Rich Foods (restores taste and appetite):**
- Pumpkin seeds / بذور القرع — 8.8 mg iron, 24.5 g protein per 100g
- Sesame seeds / بذور السمسم — 8.6 mg iron, 975 mg calcium per 100g

**نصائح مهمة جداً / Critical Recovery Tips:**
- ⚠ REFEEDING SYNDROME RISK is highest in the first 7-10 days — must be medically supervised
- Prophylactic phosphorus and thiamine supplementation before starting
- Structured meals: 3 meals + 2-3 snacks at consistent times
- Build from foods she feels safe with — don't force feared foods initially
- ❌ Avoid "diet" products, low-calorie foods, artificial sweeteners (reinforce restriction)
- ❌ Limit caffeine (appetite suppressant, cardiac stimulant in malnourished)
- Family meals are therapeutic tools in MENA culture — use them supportively
- Ramadan fasting is medically contraindicated in active eating disorders

[User] I'm obese and my doctor told me I need to lose weight. What foods should I eat to lose weight in a healthy way?

[Assistant]
خلينا نبدأ سوا خطوة بخطوة 💚

Healthy weight loss through nutrition focuses on creating a sustainable caloric deficit while maximizing nutrient density — so you lose fat while preserving muscle mass and getting all essential vitamins and minerals. Evidence suggests that 5-10% weight loss significantly improves metabolic health markers including blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid profile.

**الأهداف السريرية / Clinical Targets:**
- Calories: 20-25 kcal/kg/day (deficit of 500-750 kcal/day for 0.5-1.0 lb/week loss)
- Protein: 0.8-1.0 g/kg/day or higher (satiety, lean mass preservation during loss)
- Carbohydrates: 40-55% of calories (low-glycemic emphasis; refined carbs increase hunger)
- Fat: 25-35% (adequate for hormone synthesis and satiety)
- Fiber: 30-40 g/day (satiety, metabolic health)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (deficiency common in obesity)
- Magnesium: 310-420 mg/day (metabolic support)

**أغذية عالية الشبع / High-Satiety Foods (fill you up, low in calories):**

[User] I was diagnosed with lupus (SLE). My joints hurt and I'm on steroids. What foods can help me?

[Assistant]
نحن معك ونتمنى لك كل الخير 💚

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition where nutrition plays a supporting role in reducing inflammation, protecting bones (critical since corticosteroids cause bone loss), and managing cardiovascular risk which is elevated in lupus. An anti-inflammatory dietary pattern with omega-3 emphasis is the cornerstone.

**الأهداف السريرية / Clinical Targets:**
- Calories: 25-30 kcal/kg/day (maintain stable weight; obesity worsens inflammation)
- Protein: 0.8-1.0 g/kg/day (modify based on renal function — consult physician if lupus nephritis)
- Omega-3: 1-2 g EPA/DHA daily (anti-inflammatory, renal protective)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (immune tolerance; deficiency very common in SLE)
- Calcium: 1000-1200 mg/day (corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis prevention)
- Sodium: <2300 mg/day (corticosteroids cause fluid retention; lower if renal involvement)
- Fiber: 25-35 g/day (supports microbiome, immune tolerance)
- Vitamin C: 75-90 mg/day (antioxidant — but avoid megadosing, may enhance autoimmunity)

**أغذية مضادة للالتهاب / Anti-Inflammatory Foods:**
- Flax seeds / بذور الكتان — ALA omega-3, 27.3 g fiber, 255 mg calcium per 100g
- Walnuts / الجوز — ALA omega-3, 6.7 g fiber per 100g
- Chia seeds / بذور الشيا — ALA omega-3, 631 mg calcium, 34.4 g fiber per 100g
- Olive oil / زيت الزيتون — polyphenol anti-inflammatory, monounsaturated fat
- Pomegranate / الرمان — antioxidant polyphenols, 4.0 g fiber per 100g

**أغذية غنية بالكالسيوم / Calcium-Rich Foods (bone protection on steroids):**
- Sesame seeds / بذور السمسم — 975 mg calcium, 8.6 mg iron per 100g
- Tahini / الطحينة — 975 mg calcium per 100g
- Almonds / اللوز — 264 mg calcium, 12.5 g fiber per 100g
- White beans / الفول الأبيض المطبوخ — 161 mg calcium, 0 mg sodium per 100g
- Lupin beans / الترمس المطبوخ — 180 mg calcium, 12.0 g protein per 100g

**أغذية بروبيوتيك / Probiotic Foods (gut-immune axis support):**
- Yogurt / الزبادي — calcium, protein, probiotic strains
- Labneh / اللبنة — traditional fermented dairy

**خضروات وفواكه ملونة / Colorful Produce:**
- Spinach / السبانخ — 558 mg potassium, antioxidants
- Bell pepper / الفلفل الأحمر — vitamin C, antioxidants
- Guava / الجوافة — 5.4 g fiber, vitamin C
- Broccoli / البروكلي — sulforaphane, vitamin C

**أغذية يجب تجنبها / Foods to AVOID:**
- ❌ Alfalfa sprouts — contain L-canavanine, which may trigger SLE flares
- ❌ Excess omega-6 oils (corn, sunflower, soybean) — pro-inflammatory
- ❌ High-glycemic carbohydrates (corticosteroid use increases diabetes risk)
- ❌ Excess sodium (fluid retention, especially if renal involvement)
- ❌ Excess red meat (pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid)

⚠ If you have lupus nephritis (kidney involvement), protein and sodium targets must be adjusted by your nephrologist. Do not increase protein without medical guidance.

[User] I keep getting kidney stones. The doctor said they're calcium oxalate stones. What should I eat and avoid?

[Assistant]
نتمنى لك السلامة والعافية 💚

Calcium oxalate kidney stones are the most common type. Counterintuitively, adequate dietary calcium actually REDUCES stone risk by binding oxalate in the gut before it reaches the kidneys. The key dietary strategies are: adequate calcium, low sodium, moderate protein, high fluid intake, and limiting high-oxalate foods.

**الأهداف السريرية / Clinical Targets:**
- Fluid: 2.5-3.0 L/day (aim for >2.0 L urine output daily — most important single intervention)
- Calcium: 1000-1200 mg/day from FOOD (not supplements — dietary calcium reduces stone risk)
- Sodium: <2300 mg/day ideally <1500 mg/day (high sodium increases urinary calcium excretion)
- Animal protein: moderate — 50 g/day or less (excess increases urinary calcium, uric acid, and oxalate)
- Oxalate: limit high-oxalate foods (listed below)
- Citrate: increase (citrate inhibits stone formation)

**أغذية غنية بالكالسيوم / Dietary Calcium Sources (protective — eat WITH meals to bind oxalate):**
- Sesame seeds / بذور السمسم — 975 mg calcium per 100g
- Tahini / الطحينة — 975 mg calcium per 100g
- Chia seeds / بذور الشيا — 631 mg calcium per 100g
- Almonds / اللوز — 264 mg calcium per 100g
- White beans / الفول الأبيض المطبوخ — 161 mg calcium per 100g
- Yogurt / الزبادي — eat with oxalate-containing meals

**أغذية غنية بالسيترات / Citrate-Rich Foods (stone-inhibiting):**
- Lemon / الليمون — squeeze into water throughout the day
- Pomegranate / الرمان — 4.0 g fiber, antioxidants
- Cantaloupe / الشمام — 267 mg potassium per 100g
- Kiwi / الكيوي — 312 mg potassium per 100g

**أغذية آمنة منخفضة الأوكسالات / Low-Oxalate Safe Foods:**
- White rice / الرز الأبيض — low oxalate
- Cauliflower / القرنبيط — 25 kcal per 100g, low oxalate
- Green beans / الفول الأخضر — 31 kcal, low oxalate
- Cucumber / الخيار — hydrating, low oxalate
- Banana / الموز — 358 mg potassium, low oxalate
- Chicken breast / صدر الدجاج — 22.5 g protein (moderate portions)
- Eggs / البيض — moderate protein source

**أغذية عالية الأوكسالات يجب تقليلها / High-Oxalate Foods to LIMIT:**
- ❌ Spinach / السبانخ — very high oxalate (despite being nutritious, limit with kidney stones)
- ❌ Beets / الشمندر — high oxalate
- ❌ Sweet potatoes in excess
- ❌ Excessive nuts (almonds and peanuts have moderate oxalate — eat with calcium)
- ❌ Chocolate — high oxalate
- ❌ Excessive tea — contains oxalate (especially black tea)

**نصائح مهمة / Key Tips:**
- Drink water throughout the day — not just at meals
- Eat calcium-rich foods WITH meals (binds oxalate in gut)
- Reduce sodium — high salt increases urinary calcium
- Moderate animal protein portions (50 g/day maximum)
- Lemon water daily (citrate is protective)
- Iraqi tea culture: reduce black tea consumption, as it contains oxalate

[User] I had gastric sleeve surgery three months ago. What foods should I focus on now?

[Assistant]
الحمد لله على سلامتك! نحن هنا نساعدك في رحلتك الجديدة

Post-bariatric nutrition focuses on maximizing protein in minimal volume while preventing dumping syndrome and nutrient deficiencies. Your stomach capacity is now 80-100mL, so every bite must count nutritionally.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 800-1200 kcal/day (gradually increase as tolerated)
- Protein: 60-80g/day minimum (priority at every meal)
- Fluid: 1.5-2L/day (sip between meals only, wait 30min after eating)
- Vitamin B12: 350-500mcg/day (requires supplementation — monthly injections recommended)
- Iron: 18-60mg/day (iron deficiency very common post-sleeve)
- Calcium citrate: 1200-1500mg/day (citrate form better absorbed; avoid with meals)
- Vitamin D: 3000 IU/day
- Zinc: 8-22mg/day

KEY FOODS (per 100g):

PROTEIN SOURCES:
- Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat | 73mg sodium
- Turkey Breast: 104 kcal | 22g protein | 1.3g fat | 70mg sodium
- Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (soft texture, well-tolerated)
- Cod: 82 kcal | 17.8g protein | 0.7g fat (very low-fat, excellent post-op)

CALCIUM SOURCES (dairy-free if intolerant):
- Sesame Seeds: 563 kcal | 17.7g protein | 975mg calcium (add 1 tbsp to meals)
- Tahini: 595 kcal | 17g protein | 975mg calcium (labneh more tolerated than milk)

KEY PRINCIPLES:
1. Protein FIRST at every meal — prevents muscle loss
2. Chew 20-30 times per bite to avoid blockages
3. No liquids with meals — wait 30 minutes after eating
4. Lifetime B12, iron, and calcium supplementation mandatory
5. Watch for dumping syndrome (tremors, sweating, tachycardia) — avoid simple sugars >15g/serving
6. Meal timing: 3-4 small meals daily
7. Food safety: moist foods better tolerated (avoid dry chicken)

WARNINGS:
- Dumping syndrome can develop with sugar intake — avoid refined carbs entirely
- Dehydration risk — track fluid carefully
- Protein malnutrition if intake <60g/day
- Vitamin deficiencies develop over months/years if unsupplemented

[User] My father is 72 years old and losing muscle mass. The doctor said he has sarcopenia.

[Assistant]
الله يعطيه العافية والقوة! خلينا نساعده يقوي عضلاته بالتغذية الصحيحة

Age-related sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength) requires aggressive protein intake distributed across meals to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Leucine is the critical amino acid that triggers mTOR pathway — aim for 2.5-3g leucine per meal.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 30-35 kcal/kg/day (maintain weight, prevent further loss)
- Protein: 1.0-1.2g/kg/day (up to 1.5g/kg if acute illness; critical for sarcopenia)
- Leucine: 2.5-3g per meal (high-leucine foods most effective)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (needed for muscle function)
- Calcium: 1200mg/day
- Omega-3 fatty acids: 1-2g/day (reduce inflammation)
- Creatine: 3-5g/day if tolerated (proven for muscle strength)

HIGH-PROTEIN, HIGH-LEUCINE FOODS (per 100g):
- Goat Meat: 143 kcal | 27g protein | 3.2g fat | 76mg sodium (excellent leucine source; traditional Iraqi choice)
- Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat (lean protein staple)
- Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (very high leucine; breakfast essential)
- Tilapia: 96 kcal | 20.1g protein | 1.7g fat (lean fish option)

ADDITIONAL NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS:
- Almonds: 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 264mg calcium (nutrient-dense snack)
- Tahini: 595 kcal | 17g protein | 975mg calcium (Iraqi traditional food)
- Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 18.3g protein | ALA omega-3 source

KEY STRATEGY:
1. 25-30g protein per meal × 3 meals minimum (evenly distributed)
2. Add protein snacks between meals (hard-boiled egg, almonds)
3. Combine protein with resistance exercise (critical synergy)
4. Morning protein intake especially important for muscle protein synthesis
5. Adequate total calories — underfeeding worsens sarcopenia

WARNINGS:
- Protein alone insufficient — must include resistance training
- Falls risk increases with sarcopenia — monitor closely

[User] My son has epilepsy and the neurologist recommended a ketogenic diet.

[Assistant]
نتمنى لابنك الشفاء والعافية! التغذية الكيتوجينية تحتاج متابعة دقيقة

The ketogenic diet (KD) is evidence-based for seizure reduction, particularly in drug-resistant epilepsy. Mechanism: ketones bypass normal glucose metabolism and stabilize neuronal excitability. Must be medically supervised with dietitian oversight and regular monitoring of growth, lipids, and kidney function.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Fat: 70-90% of calories (primary fuel source)
- Protein: 1g/kg/day (adequate but not excessive)
- Carbohydrates: 20-50g/day (strict carb limitation)
- Calcium: 1000mg/day (critical — kidney stone risk)
- Vitamin D: 400-1000 IU/day (deficiency increases seizure risk)
- Selenium: 55mcg/day (cofactor for seizure threshold)
- Carnitine: monitor (supplement may be needed)
- Multivitamin: essential daily

HIGH-FAT, VERY-LOW-CARB FOODS (per 100g):
- Almonds: 579 kcal | 49.9g fat | 21.6g carbs | 264mg calcium (moderate carbs; use sparingly)
- Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 42.2g fat | 28.9g carbs | 255mg calcium (ground form better absorption)
- Sesame Seeds: 563 kcal | 49.7g fat | 20.7g carbs | 975mg calcium (excellent calcium source)
- Hazelnuts: 628 kcal | 60.8g fat | 16.7g carbs | 114mg calcium (lowest carb nut)
- Eggs: 155 kcal | 10.6g fat | 1.1g carbs (KD staple, versatile)
- Olive Oil: 884 kcal | 100g fat | 0g carbs (primary fat source, calories)
- Bone Marrow: 740 kcal | 82g fat | 0g carbs | 200mg calcium (traditional Iraqi, very calorie-dense)

KEY MONITORING:
1. Ketone levels: measure urine/blood strips regularly (therapeutic range 2-4 mmol/L)
2. Growth monitoring: monthly weight and length/height (KD can affect growth in children)
3. Bone density: DXA scan baseline and annually (kidney stone/osteoporosis risk)
4. Lipid panel: baseline and 3-monthly (LDL increase common)
5. Liver function: 3-6 monthly (rare hepatotoxicity with KD)
6. Never stop abruptly — seizure rebound risk

WARNINGS:
- Kidney stones: 1-10% incidence — ensure adequate hydration (1.5-2L/day)
- Calcium oxalate monitoring essential
- Growth retardation possible — supplement carefully
- Acidosis risk — monitor pH

[User] I have HIV and I'm on antiretroviral treatment. I've been losing weight.

[Assistant]
نحن معك في كل خطوة! التغذية الجيدة تساعد جسمك يبقى قوي مع العلاج

HIV with weight loss requires aggressive nutritional support to maintain immune function and prevent opportunistic infections. Adequate calories and protein are critical; micronutrient deficiencies (zinc, selenium, B vitamins) directly impair CD4+ recovery. Monitor for lipodystrophy and metabolic syndrome with certain ART regimens.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 30-40 kcal/kg/day (higher if active weight loss)
- Protein: 1.2-1.5g/kg/day (supports immune recovery and muscle)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (deficiency associated with faster progression)
- Zinc: 8-25mg/day (critical for immune function; many ART deplete)
- Selenium: 55-200mcg/day (HIV patients often deficient)
- Iron: 8-18mg/day (monitor; overload risk with some conditions)
- Vitamin B12: 2.4mcg/day (deficiency common with zidovudine)
- Folate: 400mcg/day

KEY PROTEIN SOURCES (per 100g):
- Goat Meat: 143 kcal | 27g protein | 3.2g fat | 3.6mg iron (lean, nutrient-dense)
- Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 24.5g protein | 8.8mg iron | excellent zinc + selenium
- Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat (affordable, versatile)
- Almonds: 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 264mg calcium (calorie-dense snack)
- Red Lentils: 116 kcal | 9g protein | 6.5mg iron | complete plant protein
- Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (complete amino acid profile)
- Sesame Seeds: 563 kcal | 17.7g protein | 8.6mg iron | 975mg calcium

KEY PRINCIPLES:
1. Small frequent meals (5-6 per day) if appetite poor
2. Calorie-dense foods (nuts, seeds, oils) maximize intake
3. Food safety critical — wash all produce; avoid raw meat/unpasteurized dairy
4. Drug-nutrient interactions: some ART impairs absorption or increases needs
5. Pharmacist consultation recommended for your specific ART regimen

WARNINGS:
- Lipodystrophy: fat redistribution with some ART; monitor lipid panel quarterly
- Metabolic syndrome: increased CVD risk — exercise essential
- Opportunistic infections increase mortality risk; adequate nutrition is prevention
- Some supplements interfere with ART (especially St. John's Wort) — check before use

[User] I'm lactose intolerant. How can I make sure I get enough calcium?

[Assistant]
لا تقلق! نقدر نوفر لجسمك كل الكالسيوم اللي يحتاجه من مصادر بديلة

Lactose intolerance (insufficient lactase enzyme) prevents dairy digestion without eliminating calcium sources. Good news: Iraqi traditional cuisine is calcium-rich through tahini, sesame, and legumes — completely lactose-free. Some fermented dairy (yogurt, labneh, aged cheese) is often tolerated due to lactose degradation during fermentation.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calcium: 1000-1200mg/day (essential for bones, muscle, nerve function)
- Vitamin D: 600-1000 IU/day (enhances calcium absorption)
- Protein: 0.8g/kg/day
- Phosphorus: adequate (phosphorus:calcium ratio important)
- Magnesium: 310-420mg/day (cofactor for calcium utilization)

CALCIUM SUPERSTARS (per 100g):
- Poppy Seeds: 1438mg calcium (highest calcium food!)
- Sesame Seeds: 975mg calcium | 563 kcal | 49.7g fat (Iraqi staple — use 2-3 tbsp daily)
- Tahini: 975mg calcium | 595 kcal | 53.9g fat (labneh dip essential Iraqi food)
- Cinnamon: 1002mg calcium (use as seasoning on fruit/oatmeal)
- Chia Seeds: 631mg calcium | 486 kcal | 34.4g fiber
- Flax Seeds: 255mg calcium | 534 kcal | 28.9g carbs
- Almonds: 264mg calcium | 579 kcal | 21.2g protein
- White Beans: 161mg calcium | 125 kcal | 8.9g protein | 0mg sodium (legume advantage)

TOLERATED DAIRY OPTIONS:
- Yogurt: 75-100mg calcium/100g (fermentation reduces lactose 60-80%)
- Labneh: 225mg calcium/100g (Iraqi yogurt cheese — well-tolerated!)
- Aged Cheddar: <100mg lactose/100g (hard cheeses naturally lower lactose)

KEY STRATEGY:
1. Sesame/tahini are calcium champions — add to every meal
2. Traditional Iraqi breakfast: tahini + labneh + bread = 400+ mg calcium
3. Lactase enzyme supplements available (Lactaid) if some dairy desired
4. Pair calcium foods with vitamin D for optimal absorption
5. Magnesium foods improve calcium utilization
6. Avoid excessive oxalates (spinach, nuts high in oxalates) with calcium-rich meals — they inhibit absorption

IRAQI ADVANTAGE:
Traditional cuisine is naturally calcium-rich and lactose-free — tahini soup, legume dishes, and seeded breads provide excellent daily calcium without dairy.

WARNINGS:
- Lactose intolerance doesn't mean lactose-free diet — gradual intake often tolerated
- Calcium supplements need 2-4 hours separation from iron/tetracyclines
- Excessive caffeine and sodium increase calcium excretion

[User] My brother had severe burns on his arms and chest. He's out of the ICU now.

[Assistant]
الله يشفيه ويعافيه! التغذية مهمة جداً لتسريع التئام الجروح

Burn injury causes hypermetabolic state (metabolic rate increases 50%+ above normal). Protein needs skyrocket for wound healing and immune response. Micronutrients critical for collagen synthesis (vitamin C), immune function (zinc), and tissue repair (selenium). Underfeeding in burn recovery directly delays healing and increases infection risk.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 25-35 kcal/kg/day (hypermetabolic — calculate from actual body weight)
- Protein: 1.5-2.0g/kg/day (massive tissue repair demands)
- Vitamin C: 500mg twice daily (collagen cross-linking essential)
- Zinc: 15-25mg/day (wound healing, immune response)
- Vitamin A: 5000-10000 IU/day (epithelialization, immune function)
- Selenium: 100-200mcg/day (antioxidant, reduces infection)
- Iron: 8-18mg/day+ (increased requirements; monitor levels)
- Copper: 1.5-2mg/day (needed for collagen formation)

HIGH-PROTEIN FOODS (per 100g):
- Goat Meat: 143 kcal | 27g protein | 3.2g fat | 3.6mg iron (excellent leucine + micronutrient profile)
- Beef Liver: 130 kcal | 21g protein | 7.5mg iron | rich vitamin A (1×/week maximum; limit due to vitamin A toxicity risk)
- Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat (affordable, versatile)
- Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 24.5g protein | 8.8mg iron | 46.7g fat (zinc for wound healing)
- Red Lentils: 116 kcal | 9g protein | 6.5mg iron | plant-based protein
- Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (complete amino acids, all sulfur)

MICRONUTRIENT-RICH FOODS:
- Bell Pepper: 31 kcal | 128mg vitamin C equivalent (vitamin C source)

KEY STRATEGY:
1. Protein at EVERY meal — distribute across 3-4 meals daily
2. Frequent small meals (6+ daily) for total calorie intake
3. Moist, soft foods preferred (avoid dry meats; shred protein)
4. Bone broth (maraq) excellent for amino acids and collagen precursors
5. Vitamin C with iron-rich foods enhances absorption
6. Monitor weight weekly — should remain stable (indicates adequate calories)
7. Avoid immunosuppressive foods (high sugar, refined carbs)

WARNINGS:
- 50%+ metabolic increase — severe underfeeding delays healing
- Infection risk massively elevated — adequate protein essential for white blood cells
- Anemia common — iron supplementation likely needed
- Monitor for hyperglycemia (stress-induced)
- Pain may reduce appetite — small frequent meals critical

[User] My child has cystic fibrosis and is underweight despite eating.

[Assistant]
نتمنى لطفلك كل الصحة والعافية! نقدر نساعدك تزيد السعرات الحرارية اللي يحتاجها

Cystic fibrosis (CF) causes pancreatic insufficiency — enzymes don't reach intestine, so fat and protein malabsorption occurs even with adequate intake. Children require 120-150% of typical caloric needs (hypermetabolic). Fat restriction is counterintuitive in CF — despite malabsorption, dietary fat cannot be restricted (needed for growth and fat-soluble vitamins). PERT (pancreatic enzyme replacement) with every food intake is mandatory.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 120-150% of RDA (very high — typically 4000-5000 kcal/day for school-age children)
- Protein: 15-20% of calories (adequate protein also important)
- Fat: 30-40% of calories (never restrict despite malabsorption!)
- Vitamin A: 5000-10000 IU/day (fat-soluble; water-miscible form required)
- Vitamin D: 400-1000 IU/day (critical for bone health; CF patients at osteoporosis risk)
- Vitamin E: 10-50 IU/day (antioxidant)
- Vitamin K: 5-10mg/day (clotting)
- Zinc: 8-25mg/day (immune function, growth)
- Sodium: increased (sweating losses; CF patients have salty sweat)

CALORIE-DENSE FOODS (per 100g):
- Tahini: 595 kcal | 53.9g fat | 17g protein | 975mg calcium (calorie champion!)
- Hazelnuts: 628 kcal | 60.8g fat | 15g protein | 114mg calcium
- Almonds: 579 kcal | 49.9g fat | 21.2g protein | 264mg calcium
- Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 46.7g fat | 24.5g protein | 8.8mg iron
- Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 42.2g fat | 18.3g protein | 255mg calcium
- Eggs: 155 kcal | 10.6g fat | 12.6g protein (protein + fat combination)
- Bone Marrow: 740 kcal | 82g fat | 200mg calcium (traditional Iraqi, very calorie-dense)
- Olive Oil: 884 kcal | 100g fat | 0g carbs (add to everything)

KEY STRATEGY:
1. PERT ESSENTIAL: pancreatic enzyme replacement with EVERY meal and snack (timing critical)
2. Add tahini/nut butter to everything — breakfast, snacks, main meals
3. Never restrict fat — CF requires MORE dietary fat than typical children
4. Track weight/length closely (monthly); should track normal growth curves
5. Vitamin supplementation in water-miscible form (oil-soluble vitamins not absorbed well)
6. Extra salt in hot weather or with increased sweat losses
7. Aggressive calorie intake — 6-8 eating occasions daily
8. Bone health monitoring: DXA scans baseline and annually (osteoporosis common in CF)

WARNINGS:
- PERT timing critical — must be taken with food or malabsorption worsens
- CF-related diabetes developing? Monitor glucose carefully
- Pancreatic insufficiency — enzyme dosing may need adjustment as child grows
- Bone density often impaired — calcium + vitamin D critical
- Growth failure indicates inadequate nutrition — aggressive intervention needed

[User] I have chronic hepatitis B. What foods support my liver health?

[Assistant]
نتمنى لك الشفاء العاجل! التغذية السليمة تساعد كبدك على التعافي

Chronic hepatitis B requires balanced nutrition to support liver regeneration and minimize inflammation. Protein must be adequate (0.8-1.0g/kg) unless hepatic encephalopathy develops — muscle is the body's protein reserve and wasting worsens prognosis. Antioxidants and micronutrients critical for reducing oxidative stress in damaged hepatocytes.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 25-35 kcal/kg/day (maintain weight, prevent catabolism)
- Protein: 0.8-1.0g/kg/day (no restriction unless encephalopathy; inadequate protein worsens outcomes)
- Fat: 25-35% of calories (don't overly restrict; necessary for absorption)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (deficiency associated with worse fibrosis progression)
- Zinc: 8-25mg/day (critical for immune response; deficiency common in cirrhosis)
- Folate: 400mcg/day (needed for cell division and hepatocyte regeneration)
- Vitamin E: 15mg/day (antioxidant; protects liver cells)
- Selenium: 55mcg/day (glutathione peroxidase cofactor — antioxidant enzyme)

LEAN PROTEIN SOURCES (per 100g):
- Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat (ideal — high quality protein, low fat)
- Tilapia: 96 kcal | 20.1g protein | 1.7g fat (low-fat fish; minimal sodium)
- Green Lentils: 116 kcal | 8.8g protein | 3.5mg iron | 3mg sodium (plant-based, fiber supports gut)

FIBER + MICRONUTRIENT FOODS:
- Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 10.6g fiber (soluble fiber; supports gut microbiome)
- Olive Oil: 884 kcal | 100g fat | 0g carbs (Mediterranean-style protection)

PROBIOTIC OPTIONS:
- Yogurt: contains beneficial bacteria (fermentation reduces lactose if intolerant)
- Labneh: probiotic; supports gut microbiome

ANTIOXIDANT SEASONING:
- Turmeric: 41.4mg iron | anti-inflammatory curcumin (1-2 tsp daily as seasoning)

FOODS TO ABSOLUTELY AVOID:
1. Alcohol (zero tolerance) — accelerates fibrosis progression dramatically
2. High-dose vitamin A supplements (toxic to damaged liver; whole food vitamin A safe)
3. Iron supplements (unless proven deficient — iron overload worsens oxidative damage)
4. High-sodium processed foods (ascites/fluid retention management)

KEY PRINCIPLES:
1. Regular meal timing — breakfast essential (regeneration occurs during sleep)
2. Adequate protein EVERY meal (muscle wasting = poor prognosis)
3. Antioxidants through whole foods rather than supplements
4. Fiber supports gut microbiome (dysbiosis worsens liver disease)
5. Monthly monitoring: INR, albumin, bilirubin (nutritional status indicators)

WARNINGS:
- Protein wasting dramatically increases mortality — underfeeding dangerous
- Cirrhosis risk — monitor for signs (ascites, varices, encephalopathy)
- Vitamin D deficiency correlates with faster progression to cirrhosis
- Drug-nutrient interactions: some HBV medications affect absorption

[User] I have gastroparesis from diabetes. I feel full after just a few bites and get nauseous.

[Assistant]
نحس بمعاناتك ونتمنى لك الراحة! خلينا نساعدك تاكل بطريقة تريح معدتك

Gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying) creates nutritional challenge: stomach cannot mechanistically contract to move food into small intestine, so foods remain in stomach causing nausea, vomiting, and severe undereating. Low-fat, low-fiber, soft foods empty fastest. Fat and fiber slow gastric emptying — must be minimized despite satiety benefits. Ginger acts as prokinetic agent (promotes stomach contractions).

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 25-35 kcal/kg/day (challenging to achieve — often underfed)
- Protein: 0.8-1.0g/kg/day (adequate but not excessive fat content)
- Fat: 20-30% of calories maximum (fat delays emptying 2-4 hours)
- Fiber: 10-20g/day initially (insoluble fiber especially problematic)
- Ginger: 1-2g/day (evidence-based prokinetic; available fresh or dried)
- Magnesium: 310-420mg/day (supports smooth muscle function)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (deficiency worsens motility)

LOW-FAT, SOFT PROTEIN SOURCES (per 100g):
- Chicken Breast (shredded, well-cooked): 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat (easiest emptying)
- Cod: 82 kcal | 17.8g protein | 0.7g fat (very low-fat fish; excellent)
- Turkey Breast: 104 kcal | 22g protein | 1.3g fat (lean poultry option)
- Egg Whites: 52 kcal | 10.9g protein | 0.2g fat | essentially zero fat (purest protein)

SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATE SOURCES (rapid emptying):
- White Rice: easy to digest, rapid gastric transit (use plain, no oil)
- Banana: 89 kcal | 358mg potassium (soft, soothing, slightly prokinetic)
- Potato (mashed, skin removed): 77 kcal | low fiber (easily digestible)

PROKINETIC SEASONING:
- Ginger (ground): 1-2g/day in warm water before meals (delays in data; aids contractions)

FOODS TO STRICTLY AVOID:
1. High-fat foods (delay emptying 2-4+ hours)
2. High-fiber foods (insoluble fiber especially problematic)
3. Fried/greasy foods
4. Carbonated beverages (gas increases distension)
5. Lactose (if dairy intolerant; milk fat + lactose both problematic)
6. Nuts, seeds, raw vegetables (fiber/fat combination worst)

KEY STRATEGY:
1. 6 small meals daily (not 3 large meals; volume critical)
2. Sit upright 1-2 hours after eating (gravity aids emptying)
3. Liquids BETWEEN meals only (30+ minutes post-meal) — with meals, liquids delay solid gastric transit
4. Chew thoroughly (mechanical breakdown essential when stomach can't contract)
5. Walk after meals (physical activity aids motility)
6. Consistency: soft, well-cooked, low-fat every time
7. Monitor blood glucose closely — delayed emptying causes unpredictable glucose swings with insulin

CRITICAL DRUG INTERACTION:
- Blood glucose management: insulin timing becomes unreliable with delayed emptying (hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia both risk)
- Metformin may worsen GI symptoms

WARNINGS:
- Severe malnutrition/undereating common — monitor weight monthly
- Electrolyte abnormalities from vomiting (potassium, sodium, chloride)
- Bezoar formation possible (avoid nuts, seeds, fiber entirely)
- Gastroparesis unpredictable — some foods tolerate well one day, poorly next

[User] I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. My legs are very swollen and I'm losing protein in urine.

[Assistant]
نتمنى لك السلامة والعافية! التغذية المناسبة تساعد جسمك يتعامل مع هالحالة

Nephrotic syndrome causes massive urinary protein losses (>3.5g/day), leading to low blood albumin, edema (swelling), and lipid abnormalities. Sodium restriction essential for fluid management (edema worsening). Protein requirement increases by 1g for each gram of urinary protein loss. Paradoxically, excessive total protein can worsen proteinuria — protein quality (amino acid balance) matters more than quantity.

CLINICAL TARGETS:
- Calories: 30-35 kcal/kg/day (weight maintenance)
- Protein: 0.6-0.8g/kg/day PLUS 1g per gram of urinary protein loss (if losing 10g/day, need 10.6-10.8g/kg/day total)
- Sodium: <2000mg/day (critical for edema control — often most important intervention)
- Fat: <30% of calories; saturated fat <7% (dyslipidemia very common)
- Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (vitamin D deficiency worsens proteinuria)
- Calcium: 1000-1200mg/day (bone loss risk from corticosteroids)
- Zinc: 8-11mg/day

HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN, VERY LOW SODIUM (per 100g):
- Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 73mg sodium (moderate sodium)
- Cod: 82 kcal | 17.8g protein | 54mg sodium (low sodium fish)
- Egg Whites: 52 kcal | 10.9g protein | 0.2g fat | essentially zero sodium (purest protein, no lipids)
- White Beans: 125 kcal | 8.9g protein | 0mg sodium | 161mg calcium (zero-sodium legume!)
- Chickpeas: 134 kcal | 8.9g protein | 7mg sodium (nearly salt-free plant protein)
- Green Lentils: 116 kcal | 8.8g protein | 3mg sodium (ultra-low sodium legume; excellent choice)

FIBER + MICRONUTRIENT SOURCES:
- Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 2mg sodium | 10.6g fiber (fiber reduces cholesterol)

FOODS TO ABSOLUTELY AVOID OR MINIMIZE:
1. Processed foods (canned, packaged, preserved) — sodium toxicity
2. High-sodium condiments (soy sauce, salt, processed dressings)
3. Pickled foods, cured meats, cheese (extreme sodium)
4. Added salt in cooking entirely
5. High-saturated-fat foods (worsens dyslipidemia)

KEY COOKING STRATEGY:
- Use lemon juice, sumac, cumin, and spices for flavor instead of salt (Iraqi tradition!
- Cook without salt; patient adds minimal salt at table if desired

KEY PRINCIPLES:
1. Sodium restriction MOST critical for edema control — often more impactful than protein
2. Protein quality over quantity — complete proteins (eggs, fish) better than excessive plant proteins
3. Daily weight monitoring (2+ lb/day changes = sodium/fluid issues)
4. Lipid panel monitoring: triglycerides, LDL often elevated (requires low-sat-fat diet)
5. Diuretic therapy monitoring: thiazides/loop diuretics increase hypokalemia risk (adequate potassium from foods)
6. Steroid therapy common — increased infection risk (infection monitoring)

CRITICAL MONITORING:
- 24-hour urine protein (assesses remission)
- Serum albumin (nutritional status)
- Lipid panel (cardiovascular risk)
- Potassium (diuretics deplete; monitor for hypokalemia)
- Renal function: creatinine, eGFR (progression to chronic kidney disease risk)

WARNINGS:
- Sodium restriction paradox: too-severe restriction risks malnutrition; balance required
- Steroid therapy side effects: hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, hypokalemia (monitor)
- Protein wasting occurs if grossly underfed — inadequate protein replacement worsens
- Edema refractory to diet alone may need loop diuretics; medication review essential

[User] My husband has Parkinson's disease. He's on levodopa medication. What should he eat?

[Assistant]
الله يعطيه القوة والعافية! التغذية مهمة جداً مع أدوية باركنسون، خاصة فيما يتعلق بالتوقيت والتوازن.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Parkinson's disease involves dopamine deficiency and motor complications. Levodopa (L-DOPA) has critical drug-nutrient interactions with protein that impair absorption via neutral amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1). Constipation affects 80% of patients — fiber intervention essential. Falls risk increases — calcium/vitamin D critical.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake)
• Calories: 25-30 kcal/kg/day
• Protein: 0.8-1.0g/kg/day with TIMING CRITICAL
• Fiber: 25-35g/day (constipation prevention)
• Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (bone health, fall prevention)
• Calcium: 1000-1200mg/day
• Magnesium: 310-420mg/day
• CoQ10: 300-1200mg/day (mitochondrial support)

KEY FOODS — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 10.6g fiber | 4.3mg Fe | 429mg K (soluble fiber for constipation)
• Barley: 352 kcal | 12.5g protein | 8.5g fiber | 3mg Fe | 280mg K (high fiber, low protein)
• Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 18.3g protein | 42.2g fat (ALA) | 27.3g fiber | 255mg Ca (omega-3 + fiber)
• Chia Seeds: 486 kcal | 16.5g protein | 34.4g fiber | 631mg Ca | 8.7mg Fe (fiber champion)
• Sesame Seeds: 563 kcal | 17.7g protein | 49.7g fat | 975mg Ca (calcium for bone density)
• Green Lentils: 116 kcal | 8.8g protein | 7.6g fiber | 3.5mg Fe | 280mg K
• Olive Oil: 884 kcal | 100g fat (polyphenol neuroprotection)

CRITICAL DRUG-NUTRIENT INTERACTION
⚠ PROTEIN TIMING: Levodopa absorption BLOCKED by competing branched-chain amino acids. MUST take levodopa 30-60 minutes BEFORE meals, OR redistribute protein to evening meal only. Coordinate with prescribing neurologist.

APPLIED GUIDANCE
Small frequent meals reduce motor fluctuations. Soft textures if swallowing difficulty develops. Thicken liquids if needed. Monitor bowel function — aggressive fiber intervention prevents complications.

[User] My grandmother has a pressure ulcer that's not healing. What foods help with wound healing?

[Assistant]
الله يشفيها! التغذية مهمة جداً جداً لالتئام الجروح والقروح، فهي الأساس.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Pressure ulcers (decubitus ulcers) require aggressive nutritional support for collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and immune function. Protein malnutrition (albumin <3.0 g/dL) SIGNIFICANTLY impairs healing — nutritional status assessment mandatory before treatment. Healing requires amino acids (especially lysine, proline) and micronutrient cofactors.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake)
• Calories: 30-35 kcal/kg/day (increased catabolism)
• Protein: 1.25-1.5g/kg/day (up to 2.0g/kg for severe wounds)
• Vitamin C: 250-1000mg/day (hydroxylation of collagen)
• Zinc: 40mg/day for 2-3 weeks (collagen crosslinking)
• Vitamin A: 10000-25000 IU/day (epithelialization, immune function)
• Iron: maintain Hemoglobin >10g/dL (oxygen transport)
• Arginine: 4.5-9g/day (NO synthesis, angiogenesis)

KEY FOODS — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Goat Meat: 143 kcal | 27g protein | 3.2g fat | 3.6mg Fe | 280mg K | 15mg Ca (highest quality protein)
• Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat | 0.9mg Fe | 220mg K (lean healing protein)
• Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (complete amino acid profile)
• Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 24.5g protein | 46.7g fat | 8.8mg Fe | 809mg K | 55mg Ca (ZINC champion — 8.8mg Fe)
• Red Lentils: 116 kcal | 9g protein | 0.4g fat | 6.5mg Fe (iron + protein synergy)
• Guava: 68 kcal | 5.4g fiber (VITAMIN C champion — 228mg per 100g, critical for collagen)
• Bell Pepper: 31 kcal (vitamin C 80mg per 100g — easy addition to meals)

APPLIED GUIDANCE
Protein at every meal — minimum 20-25g per sitting. Pair zinc-foods with vitamin C (enhances absorption). Bone broth (maraq — traditional Iraqi healing food) excellent collagen source. Monitor nutritional status — serum albumin, prealbumin every 2 weeks. Stage 3-4 ulcers with albumin <2.5g/dL may require tube feeding to achieve targets.

[User] My child has an egg allergy. How can I make sure she gets enough protein and nutrients?

[Assistant]
لا تقلقي! نقدر نوفر لطفلتك كل العناصر الغذائية اللي تحتاجها من مصادر بديلة آمنة وغنية.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Egg allergy affects 1-2% of children, often outgrown by age 5-7 (tolerance develops in 70% by age 12). Critical concern: eggs are major source of choline (cognitive development), lutein (eye health), and selenium (thyroid). Alternative sources must compensate. Cross-reactivity with poultry rare but discuss with allergist.

CLINICAL TARGETS (child age 2-8 years)
• Protein: 1.0-1.5g/kg/day (adequate for growth)
• Choline: 200-375mg/day (brain development — eggs major source)
• Iron: 6-10mg/day (prevent anemia)
• Zinc: 3-8mg/day
• Selenium: 20-30mcg/day (thyroid, immunity)
• Calcium: 700-1000mg/day (bone development)
• Vitamin D: 600-1000 IU/day
• B12: 1.2mcg/day (animal sources preferred)

KEY FOODS (EGG-FREE PROTEIN & CHOLINE ALTERNATIVES) — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat | 0.9mg Fe | 220mg K (easy preparation, mild flavor)
• Cod: 82 kcal | 17.8g protein | 0.7g fat | 0.4mg Fe | 413mg K (hypoallergenic, white fish)
• Tilapia: 96 kcal | 20.1g protein | 1.7g fat | 54mg Na | 380mg K (mild, well-tolerated)
• Beef Liver: 130 kcal | 21g protein | 3.6g fat | 7.5mg Fe | 380mg K (CHOLINE-RICH alternative! 1x weekly)
• Chickpeas: 134 kcal | 8.9g protein | 2.6g fat | 6.5g fiber (plant-based, affordable)
• Green Lentils: 116 kcal | 8.8g protein | 0.4g fat | 3.5mg Fe | 280mg K (iron + protein)
• Almonds (ground): 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 49.9g fat | 12.5g fiber | 264mg Ca (if no tree nut allergy)

APPLIED GUIDANCE
Read ALL labels — eggs hidden in pasta, baked goods, processed foods. Beef liver 1x/week compensates for choline loss. Periodic allergist re-evaluation every 12-24 months (oral immunotherapy may be considered age 4+). Protein complementation: combine legumes + grains for complete amino acid profiles.

[User] I'm 19 and have bad acne. Can diet help clear my skin?

[Assistant]
نقدر نساعدك! التغذية الصحيحة تلعب دور مهم جداً في صحة البشرة والتحكم بالبثور.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Acne pathogenesis involves sebum overproduction (androgen-driven), follicular hyperkeratinization, Cutibacterium acnes colonization, and inflammation. Insulin/IGF-1 spikes (high-glycemic carbs, milk) worsen acne via increased sebogenesis. Zinc deficiency impairs wound healing. Omega-3 deficiency promotes inflammation. Gut dysbiosis impairs barrier function.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake)
• Calories: 25-30 kcal/kg/day (adequate but not excess)
• Carbohydrates: 45-50% (LOW-GLYCEMIC emphasis)
• Protein: 1.0-1.2g/kg/day
• Zinc: 15-25mg/day (sebum control, healing)
• Vitamin A: 700-900mcg/day (sebum normalization)
• Vitamin E: 15mg/day (antioxidant)
• Selenium: 55mcg/day (glutathione peroxidase, antioxidant)
• Omega-3: 1-3g EPA/DHA daily (anti-inflammatory)
• Fiber: 25-35g/day (gut-skin axis)

KEY FOODS — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 24.5g protein | 46.7g fat | 8.8mg Fe (ZINC champion 8.8mg — sebum suppression)
• Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 18.3g protein | 42.2g fat (ALA omega-3) | 27.3g fiber | 255mg Ca (anti-inflammatory)
• Almonds: 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 49.9g fat | 12.5g fiber | 264mg Ca | 3.7mg Fe (vitamin E antioxidant)
• Brazil Nuts: 656 kcal | 14.3g protein | 66.4g fat | 659mg K | 160mg Ca (SELENIUM champion — 2-3 nuts/day sufficient!)
• Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 6.9g fat | 10.6g fiber | 4.3mg Fe | 429mg K (low-GI, fiber)
• Spinach: 23 kcal | 2.9g protein | 558mg K | 2.7mg Fe (vitamin A precursor, folate)
• Olive Oil: 884 kcal | 100g fat (anti-inflammatory polyphenols)

DIETARY MODIFICATIONS TO AVOID
High-glycemic foods (white bread, white rice, sugar) — causes insulin/IGF-1 spike, worsens acne 50%. Excessive dairy (especially skim milk) — milk hormones elevate IGF-1. Fried foods and processed oils (inflammatory). Food diary helpful to identify personal triggers.

[User] My 2-year-old is very underweight. The doctor said failure to thrive.

[Assistant]
نتمنى لطفلك كل الصحة والعافية! خلينا نساعدك تزيد وزنه بطريقة صحية وآمنة جداً.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Failure to thrive (FTT) in toddlers requires aggressive catch-up growth nutritional support. Height/weight < 5th percentile or weight declining >2 major percentiles indicates inadequate intake. Causes: inadequate calories, malabsorption (celiac, lactose intolerance), food refusal, or systemic disease. Fat MUST NOT be restricted in children <2 years (brain development requires 50% DHA/ARA from fat). Medical workup essential (exclude celiac, infections, reflux).

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake, catch-up growth)
• Calories: 50-150 kcal/kg/day (UP TO 1.5x age-appropriate)
• Protein: 1.5-3.0g/kg/day (catch-up protein)
• Fat: 30-50% total calories (brain myelination)
• Vitamin A: 300-400mcg/day
• Vitamin D: 400-1000 IU/day (bone growth)
• Iron: 6-15mg/day (prevent anemia)
• Zinc: 3-8mg/day (immune function)
• Calcium: 500-700mg/day

KEY FOODS (CALORIE-DENSE, AGE-APPROPRIATE) — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Tahini: 595 kcal | 17g protein | 53.9g fat | 70mg Na | 8.6mg Fe | 975mg Ca (mix into soft foods, calorie-dense!)
• Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (easy to chew soft, complete protein)
• Banana: 89 kcal | 1g protein | 358mg K | 1mg Na (soft, well-tolerated, potassium)
• Almonds (ground to smooth paste): 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 49.9g fat | 264mg Ca (must be nut butter form for choking safety)
• Dates Zahidi: 296 kcal | 2.8g protein | 75g carbs | 680mg K (natural energy, Iraqi staple, soft texture)
• Chicken Breast (finely shredded/minced): 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat | 220mg K (tender, complete protein)
• Yogurt (full-fat): 59 kcal | 3.5g protein | 3.3g fat | probiotic | calcium-rich | excellent tolerance

APPLIED GUIDANCE
Offer food every 2-3 hours. Calorie-dense foods FIRST. Add tahini or olive oil to every meal. Full-fat dairy essential. Mealtimes should be pleasant (never pressure-feed). Bone broth (maraq) traditional calorie/mineral supplement. Monitor closely for swallowing difficulty.

CRITICAL
Never restrict fat in children <2 years. Rule out medical causes (celiac serology, lactose hydrogen breath test). Monitor weight weekly. Nutritionist co-management with pediatrician essential.

[User] I'm training for a marathon. What should I eat to fuel my training?

[Assistant]
ماشاء الله على همتك! التغذية الصحيحة هي مفتاح الأداء الرياضي والتحمل والاستشفاء السريع.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Endurance athletes (marathon) require high-volume carbohydrate loading (up to 12g/kg/day 36-48h before race), sustained protein intake for recovery, and strategic electrolyte replacement (sodium 3000-5000mg/day for sweat losses). Iron status critical — foot-strike hemolysis from repetitive impact causes iron loss. Female athletes especially at risk for RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) — periodic iron studies, menstrual cycle monitoring essential.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake, training phase)
• Calories: 35-50 kcal/kg/day (high-volume training)
• Carbohydrates: 6-12g/kg/day (endurance fuel)
• Protein: 1.2-1.6g/kg/day (muscle preservation, recovery)
• Fat: 1.0-1.5g/kg/day (hormone synthesis, energy density)
• Iron: 8-18mg/day (oxygen transport, prevent anemia)
• Calcium: 1000-1200mg/day (stress fracture prevention)
• Sodium: 3000-5000mg/day (sweat replacement)
• Magnesium: 310-420mg/day (muscle function)

KEY FOODS — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 10.6g fiber | 4.3mg Fe | 429mg K (pre-training carb loading, B vitamins)
• Dates Zahidi: 296 kcal | 2.8g protein | 75g carbs | 680mg K | 2mg Na (portable race fuel, quick energy)
• Banana: 89 kcal | 1g protein | 27g carbs | 358mg K | 1mg Na (rapid carbs + potassium post-exercise)
• Chicken Breast: 120 kcal | 22.5g protein | 2.6g fat | 0.9mg Fe | 220mg K (lean recovery protein)
• Almonds: 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 49.9g fat | 12.5g fiber | 705mg K | 264mg Ca (sustained energy, minerals)
• Red Lentils: 116 kcal | 9g protein | 20g carbs | 6.5mg Fe (iron for oxygen transport)
• Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 24.5g protein | 46.7g fat | 8.8mg Fe | 809mg K (iron-rich snack)

RACE STRATEGY
Carb-load 36-48h before marathon (8-12g/kg/day). During race >90min duration: 30-60g carbs/hour (gels, sports drinks, dates). Recovery window <30min post-finish: protein + carbs (2:1 ratio ideal). Hydration by sweat rate, not generic guidelines.

WARNING: Female athletes
Monitor RED-S symptoms (amenorrhea, low energy, stress fractures). Annual iron studies essential. Optimize bone health (calcium + vitamin D + load-bearing training).

[User] My blood sugar is high-normal and the doctor said I have insulin resistance. Can diet help prevent diabetes?

[Assistant]
الخبر الحلو إنك تقدر تمنع السكري بالتغذية والنشاط البدني! خلينا نبدأ سوا بخطوات عملية.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Insulin resistance precedes type 2 diabetes by years — intervention at prediabetes stage prevents/delays progression 58% (Diabetes Prevention Program). Insulin resistance driven by: obesity, sedentary lifestyle, refined carbohydrate excess, systemic inflammation. Nutrition can restore insulin sensitivity via weight loss (5-10%), low-glycemic carbs, high fiber, and omega-3 anti-inflammatory actions.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake)
• Calories: 20-25 kcal/kg/day (5-10% weight loss goal)
• Carbohydrates: 40-50% calories (LOW-GLYCEMIC INDEX emphasis)
• Protein: 0.8-1.0g/kg/day (satiety, lean mass)
• Fat: 30-35% calories (saturated <7%)
• Fiber: 30-40g/day (postprandial glucose blunting)
• Chromium: 50-200mcg/day (insulin sensitivity)
• Magnesium: 310-420mg/day (glucose metabolism)
• Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (immune regulation)
• Omega-3: 1-2g EPA/DHA daily (anti-inflammatory)

KEY FOODS (LOW-GLYCEMIC EMPHASIS) — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Green Lentils: 116 kcal | 8.8g protein | 7.6g fiber | 3.5mg Fe | 280mg K | 38mg Ca (resistant starch, low-GI)
• Chickpeas: 134 kcal | 8.9g protein | 6.5g fiber | 7mg Na (soluble fiber, glycemic control)
• Black Beans: 132 kcal | 8.9g protein | 8.7g fiber | 3.6mg Fe | 362mg K (ultra-low fat, high fiber)
• Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 10.6g fiber | 4.3mg Fe | 429mg K (beta-glucan reduces GI)
• Barley: 352 kcal | 12.5g protein | 8.5g fiber | 3mg Fe | 280mg K (LOWEST-GI grain, resistant starch)
• Almonds: 579 kcal | 21.2g protein | 49.9g fat | 12.5g fiber (improves insulin sensitivity via magnesium)
• Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 18.3g protein | 42.2g fat (ALA) | 27.3g fiber | 255mg Ca (lignans + fiber)
• Olive Oil: 884 kcal | 100g fat (monounsaturated, insulin-sensitizing polyphenols)

MEAL PATTERN STRATEGY
Legumes at EVERY meal (lowest GI, highest fiber). Replace white rice/bulgur with barley/bulgur blend. Whole fruits over juice. Walk 30 minutes after meals (reduces postprandial glucose spike 40%). Total carb amount LESS important than GI selection.

IRAQI DIETARY ADAPTATION
Traditional Iraqi cuisine naturally features legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans) — leverage this advantage! Replace white rice component with lentils or bean-based sides. Olive oil use already aligns with insulin-sensitizing fats.

[User] I get frequent migraines. Are there foods that can help prevent them?

[Assistant]
نتمنى لك الراحة من الصداع! التغذية تقدر تساعد بشكل كبير تقلل نوبات الشقيقة والصداع.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Migraine pathophysiology involves cortical spreading depression, trigeminal nerve sensitization, and neurogenic inflammation. Magnesium deficiency present in 50% of migraine patients (low cerebrospinal fluid magnesium correlates with frequency). Riboflavin (B2) and CoQ10 have evidence-based neuroprotective effects. Trigger avoidance critical: tyramine (aged cheeses), nitrates (processed meats), histamine (fermented foods), MSG, artificial sweeteners, caffeine withdrawal.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake)
• Magnesium: 400-600mg/day (migraine prevention, muscle relaxation)
• Riboflavin (B2): 400mg/day (mitochondrial energy, first-line)
• CoQ10: 100-300mg/day (electron transport chain optimization)
• Omega-3: 1-2g/day (neuroinflammation reduction)
• Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (immune regulation)
• Hydration: 2-3L/day (dehydration triggers)

[User] I've been feeling depressed and anxious. Can nutrition help with my mood?

[Assistant]
نحن معك ونهتم بصحتك النفسية! التغذية الجيدة تساعد المزاج والصحة العقلية بشكل كبير جداً.

CLINICAL FOUNDATION
Depression involves monoamine neurotransmitter dysfunction (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine dysregulation). Nutritional factors influence: tryptophan availability (protein), cofactors for serotonin synthesis (B6, folate, B12), omega-3-mediated neuroinflammation reduction, and gut microbiota-brain axis (dysbiosis linked to depression). Omega-3 EPA supplementation demonstrates effect size comparable to some antidepressants (meta-analyses). Mediterranean diet reduces depression risk 33%.

CLINICAL TARGETS (daily intake)
• Omega-3 EPA: 1-2g/day (augments antidepressant therapy)
• Vitamin D: 1000-2000 IU/day (mood regulation, seasonal affective disorder)
• Vitamin B12: 2.4mcg/day (methylation, neurotransmitter synthesis)
• Folate: 400-800mcg/day (serotonin precursor pathway)
• Magnesium: 310-420mg/day (GABA receptor modulation, stress buffer)
• Zinc: 8-15mg/day (neuroplasticity, mood regulation)
• Iron: 8-18mg/day (dopamine synthesis)
• Tryptophan: adequate protein (neurotransmitter precursor)
• Fiber: 25-35g/day (gut-brain axis, short-chain fatty acids)

KEY FOODS — EXACT NUTRIENTS
• Flax Seeds: 534 kcal | 18.3g protein | 42.2g fat (ALA omega-3) | 27.3g fiber | 255mg Ca | 5.3mg Fe (omega-3 for brain)
• Pumpkin Seeds: 559 kcal | 24.5g protein | 46.7g fat | 8.8mg Fe | 809mg K (zinc + magnesium for mood)
• Eggs: 155 kcal | 12.6g protein | 10.6g fat (choline, B12, tryptophan, complete amino acid)
• Spinach: 23 kcal | 2.9g protein | 558mg K | 2.7mg Fe (folate 141mcg — methylation for serotonin synthesis)
• Oats: 389 kcal | 16.9g protein | 10.6g fiber | 4.3mg Fe | 429mg K (tryptophan, B vitamins, sustained glucose)
• Brazil Nuts: 656 kcal | 14.3g protein | 66.4g fat | 659mg K | 160mg Ca (SELENIUM champion 2-3 nuts/day — mood regulation via glutathione peroxidase)
• Chickpeas: 134 kcal | 8.9g protein | 6.5g fiber | 7mg Na (tryptophan + carbs → serotonin pathway, plant-based option)

DRUG-NUTRIENT INTERACTION
SSRI medications: Omega-3 EPA safe with SSRIs and may enhance therapeutic effectiveness (synergistic effect). Avoid excess St. John's Wort (decreases SSRI efficacy). Vitamin B6 safe, supports neurotransmitter synthesis.

GUT-BRAIN AXIS OPTIMIZATION
Fiber-rich foods promote short-chain fatty acid (butyrate) production — neuroprotective. Mediterranean dietary pattern (high plant diversity, olive oil, legumes) demonstrates 33% depression risk reduction in prospective studies. Probiotics emerging evidence — consider fermented foods (limited data, low risk).

IMPORTANT LIMITATION
Nutrition supports mental health but DOES NOT replace professional mental health treatment. Psychotherapy, medication, exercise are primary interventions. Nutritional optimization as adjunctive strategy.

[User] I had my thyroid removed because of thyroid cancer. What should I eat now?

[Assistant]
الحمد لله على سلامتك وعلى نجاح العملية

[CONDITION: Post-Thyroidectomy]
[CATEGORY: food_recommendation]

Following thyroidectomy, your nutritional priorities center on calcium protection (critical first weeks due to parathyroid damage risk), adequate calories for healing (25-30 kcal/kg/day), and protein for recovery (0.8-1.0g/kg/day). You'll require lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy with careful timing around meals.

**CALCIUM-CRITICAL SOURCES (Parathyroid Protection):**
Sesame Seeds: 975mg calcium per 100g, 8.6mg iron, 560 kcal — excellent density
Tahini: 975mg calcium per 100g, 8.6mg iron, 595 kcal — highly bioavailable
Chi Seeds: 631mg calcium per 100g, 8.7mg iron, 486 kcal
Almonds: 264mg calcium per 100g, 3.7mg iron, 579 kcal, 21.2g protein
Poppy Seeds: 1438mg calcium per 100g — highest calcium source

**HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN (Tissue Repair):**
Chicken Breast: 22.5g protein per 100g, 2.6g fat, 165 kcal — lean recovery protein
Eggs: 12.6g protein per 100g, complete amino acid profile, 155 kcal

**MICRONUTRIENT TARGETS:**
Vitamin D: 1000-4000 IU/day (optimize calcium absorption)
Selenium: 55-200mcg/day (thyroid peroxidase support)
Iodine: Monitor per endocrinologist directives (crucial given thyroid loss)

**CRITICAL MEDICATION TIMING:**
Levothyroxine must be taken on empty stomach 30-60 minutes before food — this is NON-NEGOTIABLE for proper absorption. Space calcium supplements minimum 4 hours apart from thyroid medication. Soy products and high-fiber foods can interfere with hormone absorption — maintain consistent intake patterns.

**EARLY RECOVERY STRATEGY (First 4-6 weeks):**
Prioritize calcium-dense foods daily (aim 1000-1500mg/day from food), include protein with each meal (20-25g minimum), maintain consistent meal timing to prevent medication absorption issues, schedule calcium tests regularly, and expect TSH/calcium monitoring monthly initially then quarterly.

[User] My child had surgery and now has short bowel syndrome. He can't absorb food properly.

[Assistant]
الله يشفيه ويعافيه، نتمنى لطفلك كل الصحة

[CONDITION: Short Bowel Syndrome]
[CATEGORY: food_recommendation]

Short bowel syndrome requires aggressive nutritional support because reduced intestinal surface area severely limits nutrient absorption. Your child needs 35-45 kcal/kg/day (versus normal 20-25), high protein intake (1.5-2.0g/kg/day), and careful monitoring for multiple deficiencies. Intestinal adaptation typically requires 1-2 years, with gradual food introduction essential.

**CALORIE-DENSE PROTEIN SOURCES (Malabsorption Compensation):**
Chicken Breast: 22.5g protein, 2.6g fat, 165 kcal per 100g — easily digestible
Eggs: 12.6g protein, 155 kcal per 100g — excellent protein-to-residue ratio
Tahini: 595 kcal per 100g, 975mg calcium — calorie-dense backup

**LOW-RESIDUE, HIGH-ABSORPTION FOODS (Reduced Bowel Load):**
White Rice: 130 kcal per 100g, minimal residue, well-tolerated
Banana: 89 kcal per 100g, 358mg potassium, easy digestion, prebiotic resistant starch
Potato (mashed): 77 kcal per 100g, low residue, low fiber

**CRITICAL MINERAL SUPPORT:**
Zinc: Target 15-40mg/day (malabsorption risk high) — food alone likely insufficient, supplementation critical
Magnesium: 310-420mg/day (hypomagnesemia common, causes arrhythmias)
Calcium: 1000-1500mg/day minimum

**IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT PRIORITIES:**
Oral rehydration solution is MORE critical than food initially — dehydration kills faster than malnutrition. Avoid hyperosmolar foods (concentrated sweets cause osmotic diarrhea). If colon is intact, oxalate kidney stone risk is significant — monitor calcium/oxalate balance. D-lactic acidosis risk exists from bacterial overgrowth.

**VITAMIN B12 AND ILEAL CONSIDERATIONS:**
If ileum (B12 absorption site) was resected, parenteral B12 injections are non-negotiable. If colon is intact, increase medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) if fat absorption is severely impaired. Parenteral nutrition may be required initially — coordinate closely with pediatric gastroenterologist.

[User] I was diagnosed with tuberculosis and I've lost a lot of weight. What should I eat?

[Assistant]
الله يشفيك ويعافيك، نحن معك في رحلة الشفاء

[CONDITION: Tuberculosis (Active/Recovery)]
[CATEGORY: food_recommendation]

Tuberculosis creates severe hypermetabolism, with 35-40 kcal/kg/day required (versus normal 20-25). Weight loss is catastrophic for immunity and treatment success. Your 6-9 month treatment regimen depletes specific nutrients, particularly B6 (isoniazid-induced neuropathy risk) and creates hepatotoxicity concerns requiring careful food choices.

**HIGH-PROTEIN, HIGH-IRON PRIORITY (Weight Recovery):**
Goat Meat: 27g protein per 100g, 3.6mg iron, 143 kcal — culturally available in Iraqi markets
Beef Liver: 21g protein, 7.5mg iron, rich vitamin A (supports lung immunity) — 1x weekly
Pumpkin Seeds: 24.5g protein, 8.8mg iron, 559 kcal — excellent density
Red Lentils: 6.5mg iron per 100g, accessible staple food

**VITAMIN D CRITICAL (TB-Deficiency Correlation):**
Target 1000-4000 IU/day minimum. TB patients show severe D deficiency; supplementation reduces mortality. Food sources insufficient alone.

**ISONIAZID B6-DEPLETION PROTOCOL:**
Vitamin B6 supplementation (50-100mg/day) is ESSENTIAL — isoniazid causes peripheral neuropathy without B6 support. Almonds (21.2g protein) provide food B6 but supplementation required.

**ADDITIONAL MICRONUTRIENT TARGETS:**
Vitamin A: 5000-10000 IU/day (immunity, lung protection)
Vitamin C: 75-90mg/day (iron absorption, immunity)
Zinc: 15-25mg/day (immune function)
Selenium: 55-200mcg/day (antioxidant, immune support)

**MEDICATION-NUTRIENT INTERACTIONS:**
Rifampicin: MUST take on empty stomach — separate from dairy/calcium by 6 hours (reduces rifampicin absorption). Alcohol absolutely forbidden (hepatotoxicity risk with isoniazid AND rifampicin). Pyrazinamide increases uric acid — avoid purine-rich foods (organ meats, red meat). Monitor liver function monthly.

**STRATEGIC FOOD COMBINING:**
Eggs: 12.6g protein, 155 kcal, biotin (B7), choline
Guava & Bell Pepper: Vitamin C sources for iron bioavailability
Almonds: 579 kcal per 100g, 21.2g protein, B6 content

Weight gain is clinical success indicator — prioritize calorie-dense foods, small frequent meals (6/day), and ensure DOT (Directly Observed Therapy) compliance.

[User] I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Can diet help manage my symptoms?

[Assistant]
نحن معك ونتمنى لك كل الصحة والعافية

[CONDITION: Multiple Sclerosis]
[CATEGORY: food_recommendation]

Multiple sclerosis pathophysiology centers on neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation. While diet cannot cure MS, evidence supports that vitamin D optimization (most MS patients critically deficient), omega-3 fatty acids, and Mediterranean dietary patterns reduce relapse rates and inflammation markers. Maintain 25-30 kcal/kg/day with moderate protein (0.8-1.0g/kg/day).

**VITAMIN D OPTIMIZATION (Most Critical):**
Target 2000-5000 IU/day minimum. Most MS patients have serum 25-OH vitamin D <30 ng/mL. Low vitamin D correlates with increased relapse frequency and disease progression. Food sources alone insufficient — supplementation mandatory with regular monitoring (goal >40 ng/mL).

**ANTI-INFLAMMATORY OMEGA-3 SOURCES:**
Flax Seeds: 534 kcal per 100g, 2.3g ALA omega-3, 27.3g fiber, 255mg calcium
Chi Seeds: 486 kcal per 100g, 1.8g ALA omega-3, 34.4g fiber, 631mg calcium
Olive Oil: Polyphenols and oleocanthal (anti-inflammatory), monounsaturated fat

**ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT (Neuroinflammation Reduction):**
Almonds: 579 kcal per 100g, high vitamin E, 264mg calcium, 21.2g protein
Pumpkin Seeds: Zinc and magnesium (myelin support), 24.5g protein
Spinach: Folate, lutein, zeaxanthin, antioxidant density

**B12 AND NEUROLOGICAL SUPPORT:**
Vitamin B12: 2.4mcg/day (methylcobalamin preferred). MS patients show higher deficiency rates; B12 supports myelin. Consider supplemental B12 given absorption risks.

**FIBER TARGETS (Gut Microbiome):**
Oats: 10.6g fiber, prebiotic benefit, supports healthy microbiota
Total target: 25-35g/day from whole sources

**SYMPTOM-SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS:**
Fatigue: Emphasize calorie adequacy, B vitamins, magnesium. Pumpkin seeds provide magnesium (may improve fatigue).
Cognitive: Omega-3 and antioxidant foods support cognition
Mobility: Weight management (obesity worsens MS) using anti-inflammatory foods
Dysphagia (if develops): Monitor swallowing carefully; adjust food consistency accordingly

**AVOIDING UNPROVEN DIETS:**
Swank diet and Wahls protocol lack robust MS-specific evidence currently. Mediterranean diet pattern shows strongest evidence — emphasize olive oil, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish.
