Recommendation | Why | Get started |
---|---|---|
Get enough protein, but not too much | Getting adequate protein is essential, but because of the danger of ammonia toxicity, a doctor should closely supervise any changes in protein intake. | |
Watch the copper | Some people with cirrhosis may have an excess of copper in the liver. If this is the case, avoid foods rich in copper, such as chocolate, shellfish, and liver. |
