Strained means using a mesh strainer to drain the liquid into a cup while the mesh
strainer catches the larger food pieces that should not be eaten on a blenderized
diet.
Watch for symptoms of lactose intolerance with milk, cottage cheese, and other
dairy products. If you are lactose intolerant, try lactose-free milk products or take
lactase enzyme supplement (Lactaid ® ) before eating dairy products.
Low-sugar foods and protein drinks are recommended in the first few weeks to
avoid dumping syndrome. Dumping syndrome may occur 30 to 60 minutes after
eating and causes food in the stomach to pass too quickly into the intestines.
Foods that often trigger dumping syndrome are usually foods that contain high
amounts of sugar.
