Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
Elevated alkaline phosphatase level in your case is due to pregnancy.
Other causes are liver problem , bone disease , cancer, autoimmune disease etc...
You are typhoid positive so consult doctor and suitable drug might be given.
Meanwhile as you have typhoid take small meal with frequent interval.
Avoid fatty food for few days.
Fruits will be good.
Green leafy veg useful.
Avoid excess such food and alcohol avoided strictly in pregnancy if you have habit.
Take care ..
