Diet for end-stage liver disease?

My mom has end-stage liver disease & we're both wondering if there's a diet that will reverse liver damage, repair liver damage, or atleast keep her where she is - currently a MELD score of 16.

I've heard about some luck using a vegetarian diet, but I have no more information. It used whole grains and no processed foods, cooked slowly (not nuked). Hope you can find more.

There probably isn't much she can do.

If I was going to die anyway, I would just eat whatever I wanted to.
