Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Vegetarian diet is adequate. There is no need to take non-vegetarian food if she is a vegetarian.
If she has developed complications like accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and legs, then she has to take salt restricted diet.

I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
