Hello, Frankly there is no food which can cure cirrhosis as it is a progressive disease. Cirrhosis is not caused by any food. It can be caused by many different things that injure the liver of a period of many decades. A virus, alcohol, a hereditary condition or something else. Make no mistake about it, without proper treatment and the option of a transplant, liver cirrhosis in time can be a fatal disease. All person with cirrhosis should be under the care of a hepatologist at a liver transplant center. Only they can help manage your cirrhosis and diet is only one small part of living with cirrhosis. What you should do is to avoid those things which are toxic to liver like... Alcohol Pain killers Various herbal products etc
Eat a balanced and healthy diet as advised by your hepatologist. Don't try to eat anything without the consultation of your doctor. Thanks
