More details needed.

History - What person or institution developed this diet and when? How long has it been used on humans?

Administration - Do both adults and children use the diet? (This quote implies that it's used in pediatrics: "the milk gives the child more complete protein and needed fat".) What type of milk is used - cow's milk: whole, low-fat, fat-free; another species of milk like sheep or goat? How are the proportions of the ingredients determined relative to each other and how are amounts of food determined for each patient?

PS - Is the milk served fresh from the carton or is it boiled first, like they did in the 1970s with the rice, banana, and boiled milk diet for diarrhea? Thanks, Wordreader (talk) 17:20, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed misinformation

moved from article text

So you're saying eating a bowl of rice krispies will help your diarrhea? Especially chronic diarrhea? That's nonsense. First of all the milk will give you gas and cramps. The rice is fine if not eaten too much or too quickly. Cereal is full of sugar which is bad for diarrhea.The BRATT diet including creamy peanut butter is much more soothing, nutritious and effective, especially if you are diabetic or have intestinal issues.

This article needs to be removed

This article needs to be removed ASAP. The only "sources" are 2 links, and one of them is no longer accessible, the other is a "health" website that has one short paragraph on this "CRAM".

Meanwhile, a simple Google search will show you that lots of "health" websites mention or suggest this "CRAM" diet and it is obvious they took this wiki page (or the aforementioned article) as their source, sometimes verbatim.The King of Th (talk) 20:12, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are indeed unacceptable. I've raised the topic on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine#CRAM diet -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 21:41, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The article should be deleted. There are no references. Jaredroach (talk) 14:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll wait another day or two, in case someone else can find anything. After that, I'll start the deletion process. I also think we should resist an attempt to redirect to BRAT diet. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 16:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
