hi.
no special diet is advised for post-splenectomy patients secondary to a vehicular accident. you can have a full and balanced diet, if you have no allergies to any food. i personally do not advise/encourage the use of supplements, especially if it is not FDA approved, as this may cause more damage to your liver than help. anything more or less of anything, be it food or exercise, is bad for our health.
hope this helps.
good day!!
