In the context of the material, the optimal protein adjustment during the initial 1-2 months for digestive issues is best described as:

• A. A Little More
• B. A Little Less
• C. About the Same
• D. A Lot More

Answer: (A)

When the body is dealing with digestive issues, healing and tissue repair rely on having enough amino acids from protein, while still allowing the gut to recover. In the first one to two months, a modest increase in protein intake is typically best because it supports healing and helps prevent lean tissue loss without overloading digestion. A small uptick provides the necessary building blocks for repair and immune function, yet stays within what the compromised digestion can handle as symptoms settle.

Choosing a lot more protein could worsen intolerance or symptoms and place extra stress on the digestive system, while reducing protein risks inadequate repair. Keeping protein about the same may miss an opportunity to support recovery. So a little more protein strikes a practical balance: enough to support healing, but not so much that it aggravates the gut. Monitor tolerance and adjust as symptoms improve.
