THE NEW CIRRHOSIS DIET COOKBOOK: Low Sodium And High Protein Recipes That Hеlрs Prоvіdе Adеԛuаtе Nutrіtіоn, And Rеduсе The Amоunt Of Wоrk Your Lіvеr Needs To Do - 8722

Having cirrhosis or advanced liver disease usually means you will need to make some changes to your diet. As well as generally eating healthily you may need to follow special advice to make sure you get enough energy (calories) and protein, and not too much salt. This is important to stop you from becoming malnourished and losing muscle mass. Around 2 in 10 people with compensated cirrhosis are malnourished, but this increases to more than 5 in 10 people with decompensated cirrhosis. People who have cirrhosis often eat ‘little and often’, a style of eating called grazing. Eating more often means your body doesn’t start breaking down the protein in your muscles for energy. Instead of having three main meals aim to eat something every 2 to 3 hours and eat a snack before bedtime. This should be something high in starchy carbohydrates such as cereal, porridge, rice pudding or shortbread.
