what kind of a diet is a liver patient suffering from cell damage required to use?
is there a special prescribed diet to help replace them especially being a first diagnosis. Am currently under medication for over one week. The damage of the cells is mainly due to over consumption of alcohol after an LFT. Any assistance from a volunteer expert will be highly appreciated.
Of course, no alcohol at all. As long as it isn’t cirrhosis, your liver should be fine since it will heal in time. Now if you have permanent scarring with cirrhosis, that would be different. Even then, it is nothing drastic. I had cirrhosis and was told to just eat a healthy Diet, stay away from salt, and if my ammonia levels are high, try to avoid proteins from meat. For you to have cirrhosis, it would take abusing alcohol for many, many years before scarring would occur.
