The optimal modified diet in theory may not be practical for an individual in either the home or clinical setting. The practicality of a diet depends on the person's prognosis, level of intelligence and motivation, support systems, financial status, religious or ethnic background, and co-existing medical condition. Peripheral parenteral nutrition is a type of therapeutic diet that can be used for specific period of time.
