Q. My dad is recovering from cirrhosis of the liver. What kind of nutrition is good for him at this stage? My dad is recovering from cirrhosis of the liver. The doctor has told me that my dad has cirrhosis due to his obesity due to his large intake of alcohol. My dad has been working on a vegetable farm most of his life and he is now going through a very tough phase. He becomes tired very easily and he has gained more weight. His skin looks rough also. What kind of nutrition is good for him at this stage of his disease…has doctor advised to cut out fatty food?

A. Intake of chemicals in the form of preservatives, food colorings and flavoring as well as toxins such as pesticides and insecticides as it affects the liver. Multi-vitamins that have iron in it should not be taken as the iron toxicity might occur as iron is already present in the liver. Alcohol should not be consumed as it harms the liver. The diet should be balanced one with little or no fat and foods that enrich the blood.
