Take certain nutritional supplements. Discuss options with your doctor.
Reduce the amount of dairy products in your diet.
Eat a low-fat diet recommended by your doctor.
Stay away from foods high in undigestible fiber, as well as highly seasoned foods.
Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.
