Brief Answer:
Keep away from spices...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry to know about your problem. But be strong and assured typhoid infection can be easily managed without significant consequences.

As far as diet is concerned, there are no strict guidelines. However it would be better to keep it bland and simple. No spices, caffeinated drinks, alcohol or smoking.
I will encourage you to drink plenty of fluid. Eat lots of fruits and vegetable. Citrus fruits rich in vitamin C and antioxidants can aid in recovery.

Unless you are not treated adequately, most typhoid fever resolves in 2-3 weeks time.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards

Hope this is clear.
