Hello Doctor My name is Swathi. My father recently suffered from alcoholic hepatitis. His bilirubin levels were 8.5 mg / dl. He was treated at the hospital for 20 days and were able to get down the bilirubin level to 2.0 mg / dl. His recent test taken 10days ago was lower than 2.0 mg / dl. He is currentlyin the rehabilitation since his discharge from hospital so that he doesn t consume any more alcohol. It is been 3 months since we first found his jaundice. Now we are planning to bring him to stay with us here in USA for 6 months. My question to you is we are hearing many speculations from friends and family, if he consumes N.Vegetarian food especially chicken and meat , the jaundice could replase and put his life in danger. It is extremely difficult to follow a very strict vegetarian diet here in ths US . Kindly help us with your valuable advice . Appreciate your help.
