What diet should I follow to gain weight as I have toxic liver hepatitis?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 22 years old and have been diagnosed with toxic liver hepatitis (now I have toxins in my liver and moderate fibrosis). Doctors told me to rest for at least three months and eat home food. I am taking medications. I am currently 90 lbs and look very skinny. What should I eat that is liver friendly and easily digestible to gain weight? Kindly suggest me some good meal plans.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

I would suggest the following diet plan:

At 7 a.m., three to four pieces of soaked almond or sprouts.
For breakfast at 8.30 a.m., brown bread (4 pieces), boiled egg- three pieces or bread, and jam.
At 11 a.m.- one glass of pineapple or banana milkshake.
For lunch, boiled rice (200 gm), one bowl of vegetable curry, dal curry (Lentil curry)(50 gm), boiled chicken breast (150 gm), and half a cup of sour curd.
Snacks- one bowl of chicken stew or semolina porridge.
Dinner- four pieces of roti (flat bread) or 150 gm of rice with one bowl of paneer (cottage cheese) curry.

Also, I would suggest the following:

1. Do exercises like strength training or yoga.

2. Avoid stress and alcohol.

3. Take plenty of water, at least ten glasses a day.

4. Try to eat more quantity of food.

5. Before taking a meal, you can walk for some time as it helps you feel hungrier.

6. Sleep at least seven to eight hours a day.

7. You can include chocolate, pastry, cake, chips, butter, and ghee.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
