Diet for Cirrhosis: My 3-Day Healing Meal Plan for Liver Disease Print 100 LikeDislike By Ian Whitcomb I was diagnosed with advanced-stage Cirrhosis (chronic liver disease) at 30 years old. After trips in and out of the hospital, and upon the suggestion of my doctor, I studied the Renal Diet, and found that a modified version was the best diet for my own healing. The Renal diet emphasizes limiting fluids, eating a low-protein diet, limiting salt, potassium, phosphorous, and other electrolytes, and getting enough calories if you are losing weight.That being said, it was very challenging to drastically change my diet and lifestyle to combat chronic liver disease – cirrhosis! To make it less overwhelming, here is a three day cirrhosis diet meal-plan I used, complete with recipes, so you can get healing too!Before Breakfast, a Cleansing Beverage:One thing I always start the day with is a glass or two of dandelion tea (found easily at your local health food store) with a teaspoon of raw honey and the juice of half a lemon. This is a great cleansing beverage and is a good way to jump-start your metabolism. Dandelion root is thought to aid in liver function, lemon adds vitamin C and a bit of natural acid and raw local honey is great for allergies. I personally used to have awful seasonal allergies but this past year hasn’t been much of an issue and I suspect this daily habit is one of the main reasons.Start with a Smoothie:After that, my cirrhosis diet almost always starts with this smoothie!– Super-Awesome Daily SmoothieOther great breakfast recipes from my liver disease diet collection include:– Chia Yogurt ‘Custard’– Chinese Egg Scallion Mushroom OmeletLunch:Lunch is the biggest meal of my day and is eaten between noon and 2pm. These following recipes from my liver disease diet are easy to prepare and taste great even if taken to go.– Southwest Tabbouleh (4 servings)– Indian Chickpea and Artichoke SauteeSnack Attack:Here are some snacks I keep around that are real crowd pleasers even for those not on a diet for liver disease:– Cashew Coconut Cookies– Italian Quinoa Cups– Organic nut butter with sliced banana and honey (so simple, no recipe required here!)Dinner: keep it filling, but lightFor dinner, here are some of my guests’ favorites:– Herb and Mushroom Rice Casserole– Thai Style SnapperAnd let’s not forget a dessert…!– Pain Perdu– Baked Stone FruitsI follow my nutrient intake over the course of the day, not just a single meal. I kept track of my intake in a small notebook (about wallet sized) that I carried with me. I wrote down every bite I took each day and calculated it at the end of the day using online nutrition calculators. Within two weeks I didn’t even need to log anything because I was so aware of the nutritional values of common foods just through studying my diet daily. A bit of low sodium soy sauce in a stir-fry, or honey on granola is fine for me, so long as I make certain I keep the rest of what I eat throughout the day within my limits.Most importantly, I listen to my body and notice how I feel after each meal. The rhythm of the diet came pretty quickly once I began to realize how good certain foods make me feel at certain points throughout the day. And don’t think for a minute that just because you are living with restrictions that you can’t enjoy your favorite dishes, there is almost always a healthy alternative if you look for it. Eating these healthy foods as part of a diet for liver disease will make you feel better, and they taste great too!

FAQsWhat is Cirrhosis?Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease. It’s actually a late stage of live scarring, marked by the degeneration of cells and inflammation. Cirrhosis is commonly caused by hepatitis or alcoholism. Symptoms or signs of cirrhosis include fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, easy bruising, and yellowing of the skin. Other complications can be malnutrition, high blood pressure, and swelling of the spleen.What is the Renal Diet?The Renal diet is ideal for those who are hoping to heal their kidney. This diet is low in sodium, potassium, phosphorous, and protein. You want to limit fluids and consume high-quality protein. Because this type of eating is kidney-friendly, it is also liver-friendly. Everyone’s needs are different, so talking to a dietitian will help you decide how exactly you should modify your diet.What can a liver-friendly diet look like?Ian Whitcomb starts off his day with a cleansing glass of dandelion tea with raw honey and lemon. For breakfast, you could consider having a rich smoothie, chia custard, or a nutritious mushroom omelette. For lunch or dinner, make sure you’re filling up: an herb and mushroom rich casserole or a chickpea and artichoke saute are great choices to start. The key is to eat vegetables and lean protein at every meal.What are some additional tips for staying on track with my healing diet?Consider tracking down your consumption in a notebook or on your phone and then calculate your intake using online nutrition calculators. You’ll eventually be more aware of the kinds of foods you eat and their nutritional value that you won’t even have to write them down anymore. One word of advice is to simply listen to your body and pay attention to how you feel after eating certain meals or types of food. Look for healthy alternatives to your favorite dishes; there are plenty!Note: PLEASE consult with your doctor before making any changes to your diet or medications.

Deb May 14, 2019 at 8:41 pmHow Amazing and proactive you are! Not many people have a doctor that inspires and supports them to become their own best advocate. Kudos to you for actually running with the ball! I recently was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis. While my gastroenterologist had everyone focused on that, I started noticing that my eGFR was steadily dropping from perfectly fine in January to 41.67 in April! I know.. right? So I am at a crossroads as to which diet plan to follow.. since they seem to be in direct conflict with each other. What would you suggest? Thank you for your time. Deb Reply ↓

Christi March 1, 2018 at 5:27 amI am 49 and was diagnosed last week with cirrhosis. I received different info from different doctors, including a specialized “liver team” at the hospital. Some were doom and gloom, telling me worst case scenarios. Others, including a calm Indian doctor, explained how my liver can heal itself if I give it the fuel to do so and not the bad poison like alcohol. No one gave me an exact idea of what to eat, except “heart healthy and 2 grams or less of sodium daily.” There was no talk of keeping up my protein intake. My husband and I were left to research eating practices on our own. Fortunately, we have found several good books and websites, including this one. I have three children ages 16 – 22, a loving husband, dogs and cats, a great job, and life on the lake in our cottage. I have a lot to live for. Thank you for giving me more tools to do just that. I’m trying out the mushroom casserole this afternoon! 🙂 Reply ↓
Jbridgway February 28, 2018 at 6:17 pmI want to thank you for addressing the most basic of liver cirrhosis health maintenance. I have found with many doctors it’s the least covered topic appropriate foods for the cirrhortic patient. I was diagnosed in September of 1990 this means especially for alcoholic cirrhosis longer life is possible. Just to inform you I had a major bleed and a small and nodular liver thus I’m assuming stage 3 or worst. The least taxing the best and your food plan offers it almonds, lemons, small light meals. Any regenative growth of the liver is not the same as real healthy liver thus easy does it. If your like me your digestion is all over the place sometimes food seems undigested, sometimes light stools sometimes normal. As a result the doctor will say you have very low vitamin basically your malnutritioned even though your eating. The blogger is on to something trying to find a balancing act it’s of great importance because proper nutrition will decide if you live or die it will keep your immune system as close to normal as possible. Sepsis is the number one killer of cirrhortic patients. Living long is a crapshoot it’s where is your liver damaged when diagnosed they used a long needle and took a biopsy first time normal liver the second some cirrhosis they had to do a laperoscopy to finally diagnose. I’m not going to kid you some will die, others will live a while then die, some will need transplants, some will be lucky and continue to live. Follow his ideas when based in logic no goofy odd foods only safe realistic foods. Cudos Reply ↓

Jacob January 21, 2018 at 7:31 amLove it. I find it interesting that I am finding this article a year after I employed very similair tactics upon receiving a cirrhosis diagnosis. My last ultrasound came back completely normal. Now I now this doesn’t mean my liver is completely healed as not all cirrhosis is identifiable by ultrasound (biopsy would be a more concrete test but would rather forgoe the procedure again). It would be nice if more articles like this would come at you right away when searching the internet looking for ways to cope with this disease. All you typically find is doom and gloom. Now I wouldn’t necessarily say everyone should jump on a specific diet as cases tend to vary but definitely don’t see any harm in some research. Happy healing to anyone who is fighting! Reply ↓
