Hi,

Pulmonologist has cleared you of fibrosis, it's more reliable to be followed. As in Chest X-ray sometimes possibilities of fibrosis can be given but the exact diagnosis is made in HRCT chest in such cases.

For reassurance pulmonary function tests can be done to look for any signs of fibrotic lung disease. No diet is curative for fibrosis if any.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
