Does Non-veg Diet Help Recover Lymph Node TB?

Dear Dr...., My son, 25 years old, non-vegetarian by choice has been suffering poor liver health, always susceptible to pancreatitis etc. Of late he has been diagnosed with lymph node tuberculosis. Should he turn vegetarian or does a non-veg diet help him in his recovery with medicines for tuberculosis? Please advise...Thanks...

General Surgeon 's  Response
respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Certain ingredients of non-vegetarian food are known to damage liver,
pancreas, stomach , intestines & general body systems in
immunocompromised persons .
* I will recommend vegetarian diet with high protein intake ( if Liver
function are under control ) for better recovery with TB.
- also adequate content of iron, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, anti-
oxidants, carbohydrates boost up recovery.
- total abstinence from alcohol / smoking / any abuse substances are
cornerstone of the management along with any diet & medicines.
Hope this helps you.
Welcome for any further queries.
Thanks for using Health care magic & giving me an opportunity to assist you.
Wishing him fine recovery.
Regards dear take care.
