Hi,
Your doctor has wrongly advised you. Your husband should avoid eating any uncooked food articles strictly. A high carbohydrate diet accompanied by large amounts of electrolyte rich fluid such as electral solution would be the ideal treatment till the jaundice comes down and his apetite improves.Complete bed rest is a must with good bowel evacuation by taking lactulose solution at bed time.
