Hello,
The biggest issue with patients who have had their spleen removed is preventing infection. Be sure your daughter is vaccinated against Pneumonia and Meningococcus (Meningitis bacteria). There is no specific diet or diet restriction for those who have had splenectomy; my advice is to follow a well-balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, lean meats/dairy, whole grains/fiber, and plenty of water (at least 1.5-2 liters/day).
