there is no dietary restrictions for a jaundiced
(acute hepatitis) patient, in fact they should eat more than they did prior (except for fatty liver patient, usually these dont present with jaundice). acute viral hepatitis patients in initial stage suffer nausea and vomiting, restrictions is only for them.
