Which type of diet is given in infantile biliary cirrhosis?

Children with liver disease require more calories than a normal child because of a faster metabolism. Your physician may recommend that a pediatric nutritionist make recommendations regarding your child's diet. Nutritional guidelines may include the following:

Provide your child with a good, well-balanced diet.
Avoid fast foods and junk foods.
Offer your child three meals a day plus small snacks in between meals.
Supplement your child's diet with vitamins, as directed by your child's physician.
MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil may be recommended to add extra calories to the diet and help your child grow. Medium-chain triglycerides are more easily digested without bile than other types of fats. MCT oil can be added to foods and liquids that your child eats.
Provide your child with high-calorie liquid feedings, as directed by your child's physician. Some children with liver disease become too sick to eat normally. In this case, your physician may recommend that your child have liquid feedings given to help meet his/her body's requirements. These feedings are given through a tube called a nasogastric tube (NG) that is guided into the nose, down the esophagus, and into the stomach. A high calorie liquid can be given through the tube to supplement your child's diet if he/she is able to eat only small amounts of food, or to replace meals if your child is too sick to eat.

The importance of diet is to provide more of carbohydrates which are easliy broken down in diet .and large amount of vitamins A ,D ,E and K
