Brief Answer:
A high-calorie low-fat diet is recommended.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You have to take the food that is soothing and easy to digest. A high-calorie diet is recommended for all patients suffering from typhoid. The high amount of calories prevent weight loss associated with typhoid fever.

You can take a small number of frequent meals like soft meals and porridge that are easily digestible and rich in calorie. Avoid spicy, fried foods, meats, butter, and ghee. Better to avoid oily food. Drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid high fiber foods as such food items can distress your digestive system.

Wishing you all the best.
Thanks
