Diet for viral hepatitis (inflammation of the liver)

Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by viruses that can become chronic. No special diet could lead to a cure for the disease. However, diet can help maintain health and increase well-being. This can be achieved primarily through a healthy, wholesome diet. What should you eat with hepatitis?

Loss of appetite and weight loss in hepatitis

Drug therapy for hepatitis can lead to loss of appetite and weight loss. Eating enough despite the loss of appetite is essential to compensate for the weight loss.

It would help if you considered these tips for the proper diet for liver inflammation:

• Deliciously arrange the food, because it is also a feast for the eyes.
• Eat several small meals a day. Start with breakfast when you get up and end the day with a bedtime treat.
• Eat at least one hot meal a day.
• Prepare small snacks between meals, e.g. B., a delicious sandwich, sliced apple, cup of yoghurt, or fruit cake.
• Prepare your favourite foods more often.

Food intolerance in hepatitis

Some hepatitis patients develop intolerance to certain foods (e.g. fatty foods, onions, leeks, etc.). However, this varies significantly from person to person, so there are no general guidelines. Try to avoid foods that you know for sure cause intolerance. An available avoidance of certain foods is not advisable.
