Patient's question:
I have had hepatitis B for 14 years. I had a follow-up check-up ten days ago, and the doctor said I have a minor positive for hepatitis B and that my condition is still good. He advised me to have irregular follow-up checks and not to take medication.Hello Doctor: Can I eat rice cakes regularly? Including other foods made with rice?
Doctor's answer:
You can eat glutinous rice. Hepatitis B patients who blindly avoid certain foods, such as beef, lamb, chicken, fish, fatty meat, seafood, eggs, scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, chives, greasy foods, and so on, lack scientific basis and are incorrect. Due to blind dietary restrictions, patients may suffer from malnutrition, which can lead to an increase in immune function and accelerate the progression of hepatitis B. On the contrary, hepatitis B patients need to enhance their nutrition. Only with a balanced diet can their immune function be further strengthened, which helps hepatitis B patients recover more quickly.
