Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Cirrhosis is due to permanent damage of liver tissue. As such there in no need of any dietary restriction except salt. He should take only 2 gm of salt daily. This salt restriction helps in preventing formation of ascitic fluid. More than 2 gm salt increases formation of ascitic fluid and less than 2 gm may cause hyponatremia. He should avoid biscuits, bread and toast. He should also avoid non veg as non veg proteins are easily digested and may cause hepatic encephalopathy. He can take turmeric, oil and high veg protein diet very well. Take care, Dr. Mayank Bhargava
