Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Diet needs a close attention while treating typhoid fever as it may relapse, if not taken care of. Generally during fever, a bland diet, which is smooth and soothing, is preferred. Care should be taken while cooking food and also choosing foods that are easy to digest. Fluids in the form of tender coconut water, barley water, electrolyte fortified water, fresh fruit juice, vegetable soup, buttermilk and water can be given. Begin with semi-solid diet for a few days and then gradually include fruits like bananas, watermelons, grapes and peaches. As the appetite gets better, semi-solid to solid foods can be given. Boiled rice, baked potato, baked apple, yoghurt, vegetable soup can be given. Gradually, by 3 to 4 weeks, normal diet can be restored. The following foods to be avoided: 1. High fibre foods like whole grain cereals and their products like oatmeal, whole wheat bread and raw vegetables in the form of salads 2. Vegetables like cabbage, capsicum and turnip as these can cause bloating and gas. 3. Oily foods, spices and seasoning like pepper, cayenne and chilli powder to prevent aggravation of inflammation of digestive tract. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
