Consult a nutritionist or other medical professional for dietary instruction. Large doses of vitamin supplements containing the fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K) are given.
To avoid intestinal symptoms, avoid eating long-chain triglycerides. Thus, the diet should contain no more than 5 ounces of lean meat, fish, or poultry per day. Use skim milk instead of whole milk.
Since a certain amount of fat is needed for normal growth and development in all people, medium chain triglycerides are alternatively used as the major source of fat in the diet. These are absorbed from the gut differently than other fats, and thus avoid the intestinal symptoms. Medium chain triglycerides are taken as a dietary supplement, typically under the supervision of a physician or nutritionist.
