Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and recently feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite and have been feeling stomach pain at night. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's liver disease. They advised me to get injections. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions should be taken for hepatitis B carriers?Doctor's answer:
Your wife has the, which means she is positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, e antibody, and core antibody. This condition does not necessarily require treatment, mainly depending on the viral load in her body. If the hepatitis B virus DNA is below 1000, treatment is not needed. Pay attention to her diet: avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, and do not eat too greasy meals. Opt for a lighter diet and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
