Which foods are recommended for a patient with inborn metabolism biotinides deficiency? Select all that apply.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Wheat
Rationale:
🌾 Wheat
🌾 Patients with biotinidase deficiency require biotin supplementation, but many cereal grains like wheat naturally contain biotin and are generally safe to consume.
🌾 Wheat is a good source of biotin precursors and can support nutritional needs when combined with medical treatment.
🌾 Avoiding foods with excessive avidin (which binds biotin) is important, but wheat does not contain high levels of avidin.
🌽 Corn
🌽 Corn contains moderate amounts of biotin and is a safe dietary choice for these patients.
🌽 It can contribute to overall biotin intake and energy needs without interfering with metabolic balance.
🌽 Corn is also a valuable source of other nutrients supporting general health.
🌱 Soy flour
