Hello,
Hepatitis E, is a self limiting disease, it will come down on its own, it is better to avoid fatty meals when you have jaundice because ( fat which is eaten is metabolised and excreted via liver itself ), so when liver has mild infection, it's better to avoidbut you can eat spices, may be for 2 to 4 weeks is better, but there are as such no guidelines as to avoiding them. Hope I could help you.
Thank you.
