Thanks for asking question.
Your patient having cirrhosis with encephalopathy.
Neomycin or rifaximine like drug can be used.
Yes in cirrhosis with portal hypertension TIPSS shunt can be placed.
Best treatment is liver transplantation.HLA matched liver needed.
Meanwhile if variceal bleed occur banding applied.
Take less fatty diet.
Papaiya like fruits more.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.
Protein diet can taken .But don't much benefit by camel milk that you have mentioned.It is not needed.
If diarrhea occur consult doctor as it can aggravate encephalopathy.
Use less oil in diet...
Cumin seed crushed one tsp with milk can be taken.
Take care.
