Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Diet restrictions was advised during the era of nerve tissue vaccine (NTV) but after banning of NTV way back in 2006 there is no food restriction.

The newer antirabies are very effective and they doesn't requires any food restrictions. During the treatment you can have the normal diet what you are having regularly and also there is no restriction of non veg food.

Only thing is if you are a alcoholic and smoker you need to avoid them because it may interfere with the production of protective antibody titres to fight against the rabies virus.
Thank you.
