Recovering From Jaundice. Can I Take Normal Diet? Can I Take Wine?
I suffered from Jaundice and i was medicated during the first week in the month of June 2012 by my family Doctor. I tried my best to avoid meat and fatty food. Now, at this time (in August) can i stop the diet and begin to eat everything as usually? Is it ok if a take an half glass of Red Wine for Lunch everyday? How do i know now that i am healed from jaundice?
Hello
You must get your liver function tests done to see the condition of liver.
Most likely they are going to be normal.
You can definitely start eating normally,if your liver functions are found to be normal.
You can take wine with lunch but why should you take it on daily basis.
Occasionally it is not going to cause any problem
Regular intake of any form of alcohol is not good in longterm.
Thanks
