Can A Patient With Cirrhosis Eat Cooked Crawfish?

Can a patient with cirrhosis eat cooked crawfish or sea bass?

My husband was told on Wed. his cirrhosis on a scale of 1-10 was an 8. He's 50 now and and has been alcohol free since 5/12/2011. Doctor says he needs a transplant. So he's looking for foods that are safe to eat. Naturally, being from Louisiana, crawfish are in question.

Thank you!

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Your father having severe degree cirrhosis.
So liver transplantation or stem cell transplantation is final mode of treatment....

As far as diet concerned fat diet taken less to rest liver....
Fried food and refined food less.
In breakfast take salad of tomato , cucumber , carrot etc....
Vegetable soup and fruits taken more....
Avoid alcohol.
Fried fish not taken.Boiled one can taken...

Take crushed papaiya seed one tsp with lemon juice daily.

Daily take grined spinach and carrot juice daily....

Hope your concern solved.
