What risk may occur if an elimination diet is continued long term without monitoring?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrient deficiency may develop
Removing one or several food groups can reduce energy, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, fibre, or other nutrients if suitable substitutes are not planned. It may also create unnecessary restriction and anxiety. A supervised elimination trial should have a clear purpose, adequate alternatives, reassessment, and medically guided reintroduction when appropriate.
