Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial is designed to determine the efficacy of a dietary intervention to reduce the frequency of bowel movements and improve stool consistency as compared with subjects assigned to a control group The study enrolled HIV patients with a history of three or more episodes of diarrhea for 3 weeks or more

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a combined behavioral dietary intervention using normal foods Condition 1 treatment with HIV self-care Condition 2 control to reduce the frequency and improve the consistency of bowel movements after 3 weeks and 24 weeks of study intervention
Detailed Description: Thirty to fifty percent of individuals with HIV can be expected to have diarrhea at some point during their illness Diarrhea can be a chronic condition in HIV disease wherein three or more daily episodes of loose watery stools are experienced for 4 weeks or more Chronic diarrhea has been associated with significant morbidity weight loss and severe malnutrition Researchers have reported that patients with chronic diarrhea experience a marked decrease in quality of life in comparison with HIV patients without diarrhea

The goal of nutrition management for patients with chronic diarrhea is to ensure that adequate caloric consumption meets the metabolic needs of such individuals and to provide symptomatic relief HIV infection regardless of stage causes an increase in resting energy expenditure because of the response of the body to the viral infection Proper nutrition management can therefore assist in preventing further nutritional imbalances
