A "low microbial diet" is one that minimizes the number of microorganisms in the food to ensure that a child with low resistance at this stage does not become infected by microorganisms in the food.

Avoid the following foods on a "low microbial diet"

• Raw food: never eat undercooked meat, fish, eggs and raw vegetables, such as sashimi, uncooked sausages, ham, preserved meat, bacon, undercooked beef and traditional tofu. Cold and pickled foods such as cold cucumbers and pickles should also be avoided.
