What shoudl be the diet when you are suffering from jaundice??please tell?

i am 14 and my billirubin level is 12.2
SGPT is ok 220
and hepatatis 0.08???is it dangerous

Please see the web page for more details on Diet-liver disease.

Jaundice has many causes---there isn't a diet that's labelled "For Jaundice", but there are many diet recommendations for the conditions that might be causing the jaundice. Have your doctor refer you to a dietician. PLEASE DO NOT start following some diet that great-aunt Tallullalah says helped her back in 1888---or read a magazine article and think "Gee, maybe that's what I should be doing!" Get Real advice from Real people who study nutrition.
And it's never a bad idea to have them explain WHY this or that is good or bad for you.
Good Luck & God bless you.

Usually jaundice itself doesnt call for any dietary restriction, the functional status of liver is more important. If liver is severely damaged (which is unlikely in your case since SGPT is 220) then protein is usually restricted, otherwise normal diet is ok. In any case, a person with a diseased liver should eat more carbohydrate (cereal, bread, rice etc) and vegetables, some fat and less protein. Food should be easily digestable (well cooked) and not too spicy or irritant. 12.2 mg/dl bilirubin is a bit high. You should consult your physician and take his advice.

Hi, you need to put artichokes, asparagus, and lots of good green foods in the diet, also the herbs cascara sagrada and dandilion and aloe vera in the diet to cleanse the liver. Any hepatatis is dangerous to the bodys immune system, lots of clean water will help...sorry to hear about this, prayer does wonders...

Hi !

High protein, high carbohydrate and moderate fat is to be given during jaundice. Small meals in regular intervals should be given. Cereal porridge, soft chapathis, rice, skimmed milk, potato, yam, fruit, fruit juices, honey soft custard can be taken. Dried fruits, ghee, butter, bakery products, fried items, cream are to be avoided. Pulses and non-vegetarian foods should be taken in moderation.
