Question:
What foods can hepatitis c carriers eat?
12 years ago my aunt had a liver transplant and recently found out that she has hepatitis c, i'm assuming she contracted it from the transplant. i have been looking for a condensed, accurate, and accredited nutritional guide for people with hepatitis c, but have come across conflicting menus. if someone can provide a condensed menu of foods one can and cannot eat if they have hepatitis c, i would be very grateful.
Answers:
Everybody has their own favorites and food choices, but the basic principles are fairly simple.
There are no special foods to avoid, but people with hepatitis C should limit their alcohol intake - preferably none.
People with hep C sometimes have problems with very fatty food, and should aim for a low GI diet, with a calorie intake low enough to avoid obesity and type 2 diabetes, both of which are associated with undue stress on the liver.
These are sensible recommendations for just about anyone, hep C or not.
