Patient's question:
My husband has a lot of dining engagements on a regular basis, and he is naturally a big beer drinker, consuming it almost every day. Later, he was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease. Now, he often experiences pain in the liver area and has been taking medication for treatment, but the results haven't been very effective. He is becoming increasingly thinner.Doctor's answer:
Patients with alcoholic liver disease should focus on a diet rich in vegetables and grains, with a balance of coarse and fine grains. The diet should be light and avoid greasy foods, with frequent small meals. Avoid extremely cold, sweet, pungent, and damp-producing foods. Consume vegetables and fruits, and include dairy and legumes in your diet. Maintain a light, low-salt diet. Once alcoholic liver disease reoccurs, regardless of the stage, it is absolutely necessary to strictly prohibit alcohol consumption during the treatment process and after recovery.When patients face alcoholic liver disease, we should actively implement examinations and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the condition does not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
