Patient's question:
I'm a very casual person, I eat whatever is left, recently I've been feeling unwell, and after a thorough check-up, I was surprised to find out I have hepatitis B. This chronic illness is really hard to recover from. I've been treated at the hospital for a while, but I don't know if there are any dietary restrictions. What should someone with liver disease eat?Doctor's answer:
Dietary considerations for hepatitis B patients should include the following points:1. Daily energy intake should be controlled between 2000-2500 kcal;
2. Adequate protein intake is essential;
3. Fat intake should be similar to that of healthy individuals;
4. Carbohydrate intake should be appropriately reduced;
5. A rich supply of vitamins, especially B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin A, is necessary.
6. Use fresh, unpolluted green foods and avoid excessive food additives.
When patients face liver disease challenges, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If liver disease does not improve with prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
