Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Typhoid has a direct effect on the digestive system and requires special dietary care even after the symptoms subsides.
You need to consume easy to digest foods that would give rest to the system. First thing is to maintain the fluid and electrolyte balance.
To do so, you must take plenty of plain water, tender coconut water and drinks like fresh soups (not the packed ready to make kind), salted lemon juice with sugar or honey (no soda), barley water will also be helpful.
Maintaining small and frequent meals. Taking light foods and avoiding peel or seeds of the fruits/vegetables, wherever possible. A protein rich diet would help.
Thank you.
