• A. Little More
• B. Little Less
• C. The Same
• D. Much More

Answer: (A)

When someone has mild to moderate digestive problems, the body still needs enough protein to repair the gut lining and support immune function. In the first 1–2 months, a modest, gradual increase in protein helps meet these needs without overloading the digestive system. This approach supports healing and nitrogen balance while you watch for tolerance, rather than making a large jump that could worsen symptoms. Keeping protein the same may hinder recovery, and a much larger increase could provoke intolerance; a small increase provides the best balance in this early stage.
