No question doctor,Marion is still in hospital .She has nearly cleared the Jaundice and seems to be coming along very slowly.She has a feed of vitamins and a suction to remove it afterwards as she had an ulcer .They are putting in a dye on Monday to see if she has any leakage internally .Then if all is well it is the recovery.She looks pretty well and is very alert and well looking but very tired

Hello there,
In Jaundice the body is overtly tired due to the liver being out of action. Easily tired, loss of appetite, inability to tolerate loud noises or bright lights are all symptoms. To recover from this
1) Have plenty of fluids -atleast 3 liters of water a day.
2) Have foods rich in simple sugars-Juices, fruits.
3) Avoid anything with oil or high protein as this would make her have cramps and vomit.
4) Carbohydrate rich diet-rice, oats as this would help her feel full and reduce her tiredness.
5) Avoid anything processed like ready to eat food or takeout food. This will increase the stress on her liver and make her have cramps.
6) Strictly avoid alcohol and use ain killers judiciously.
7) Multivitamin can be taken
Hope this helps,
Thank you for your query,
