What precautions should be taken after recovery from hepatic encephalopathy?

Patient's question:

What issues need to be paid attention to for a complete recovery from hepatic encephalopathy?

Doctor's answer:

Already fully recovered, it's important to pay attention to proper dietary management. Avoid spicy foods like chili peppers, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns. Do not drink beer or consume greasy foods. Maintain a slightly lighter diet, and avoid soy products. You can eat some protein-rich foods like meat for digestion. Additionally, be very careful to prevent catching colds and avoid any skin breaks, as transmission and skin breaks are the two most common causes of hepatic encephalopathy.
