Hi Countrygirl,
When I was actually eating meals I ate food that is considered anti inflammatory. The Paleo diet is one type of inflammatory diet.
"Incorporate fresh, organic fruits and vegetables in your meals
Reduce your intake of polyunsaturated vegetable oils (such as sunflower, corn and safflower oils), replacing them instead with extra-virgin olive oil
Use healing spices in your cooking: turmeric, ginger and red pepper can add zing to meals, and all are natural anti-inflammatories"
I don't like meat but I know that poultry and fish are considered okay-just remember that it really should be organic and keep it to a minimum.
Eggs are good, tofu, beans, rice.
Stay away from processed foods and sugar as much as possible.
If you want a meal planner/recipes I would look up the Paleo diet. It will give you the structure for meals and the important ingredients.
Good luck. Just think of it as a better way of eating and it won't feel like deprivation.

I think you posted at a bad time of year to expect many replies.
When I had decompensated cirrhosis, I bought a juicer and made lots of juice, from things like beets that I read were good for my liver.
I read all labels and by eating any salt ( sodium) was able to keep my ascites at bay for three years.
I made a yummy beet salad, with beets sprinkled with a little olive oil and lots of grated fresh ginger.
Yogurt is could for helping to provide probiotics. You can put it in oatmeal or in your smoothies.
Although I don't care for tofu I ate lots of it. It's good for your protein intake and albumin levels.
Stir fried veggies with little bits of chicken or stir fried rice with eggs is good.
Just watch the soy sauce, too much salt.
Home made chicken noodle soup is wonderful.
Avoid high iron content foods too.
Coffee, yes ! The more you can drink the better. Just google coffee and hep C.

You crack me up. Right now? Iced coffee with protein powder. Did you know coffee has been shown to improve liver function? Karen :)

I haven't got to see my Hepa Doc very much( early this year) because of being on Blinded tx.I have not been Diagnosed with ascites but before I got into tx,my stomach was swollen at top and it seems if I don't stay on the foods I am suppose to be on it will swell up.I cheat on eating when I'm out and aboutI try to find something that is somewhat good for my liver.Have to take alot of Zantac if I do so.This is why I would like to know so I don't want to destroy my liver anymore than it already is.
Happy T Day to you also.

I too find that eating the same old things can be boring. I try and spruce it up by trying different herb combos. Like chicken curry. I just discovered sweet paprika and made a hungarian goulash that is lo-fat loso too! Have you had ascites?
Happy Turkey Day!
