I. Sippy's Diet and its Modification by Hurst
Sippy used a mixture of milk and cream (3:1). The feed is to be given in small amounts (100 to 150 ml) at hourly intervals. The total quantity of milk used per day may vary from 1000 to 2700 ml and cream 600 to 900 ml. Since the intake of milk fat and cholestrol are high on such diets, the diets cause a marked increase in triglycerides and cholestrol level in patients suffering from peptic ulcer and atherosclerosis. In order to avoid the atherogenic effects of cream, Sippy advocatd the use of olive oil. Later workers (Mc Hardy, 1964) found a "filled" milk product based on skim milk, refined soyabean oil, vitamins A and D to be highly satisfactory in the treatment of peptic ulcer. This product brought about a reduction in serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels in patients suffering from atheroscleosis
II. Lenhartz Diet
Lenhartz used a mixture of milk and eggs with a view to increase the protein intake. This diet is richer in saturated fats and cholesterol than Sippy diet and hence is likely to cause considerable increase in serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels in patients suffering from peptic ulcer and atherosclerosis.
III. Meulengracht Diet
eggs.
Meulengracht (1939) used a "pure diet" based on meat, fish, milk and . The meat and fish were minced and strained in a waring blender (Pureed) so that may be fed along with milk. The diet provided variety and increased the protein intake to about 120 to 150 g. per day.
IV. Anderson Diet
Anderson (1942) suggested a diet containing a mixture of milk, cream, dextrose and gelatin. Gelatin was added to increase the protein content. The formula contained per litre the following ingredients - milk 900 ml, cream 100 ml, dextrose 60 g and gelatin 50 g. The protein content of the diet was about 75 g per litre. About 1.5 to 2 litre of the diet can be given daily in small amounts (100 to 120 ml) at hourly intervals.
V. Formula Based on Soya and Peanut Milk
For patients who are allergic to animal milk, a blend of soya and peanut milk containing dextrose and gelatin can be used.
