Diet and HCV

Hi everyone.  I am wondering about what kinds of food people are eating that help keep your liver healthy.  I've looked at some sites that describe needing protein, complex carbohydtrates, fruit and vegetables, etc.

I am not a very creative eater...so I am just wondering exactly what kinds of foods some of you are eating that seems to help.

Thanks!

I took a bite out of my last girl friend. Though she didn't like it much I kind of though it taste like chicken but much more salty

My doc says to eat lots of protein & calories (for energy).Cut down on the salt, no iron, & stay away from caffeine. I eat alot of salads, yogurt, ice cream & keep a protein bar in my purse. And don't forget the deluges of water & juice. I average about 80 ozs. per day of "good" liquids. I have found that my appetite & tastbuds for foods has drastically dropped, so I have found only a few things which I find appetizing, so I stick to those things. Some people develop that metallic taste from foods, but I just can't taste them. My nurse said not to worry about eating a balanced diet during tx, but to just find what you like & go with it. Chocolate works for me!! :)
I have lost about 25 lbs, but some people gain weight.
Best of luck to you.

Hi Chev, thanks for that, that would be a better idea.

Lindy, go to http://www.hepcaustralia.com.au

once there register with username and password

then hit the 'home' button at top of screen, then if you scroll down you will come to a section called "Living with Hep C", in there you will find the diet for Hep C people called "Food recipes for hep c".

Hope all is well with everyone, and thanx again Chev.
