Cirrhosis diagnosis...anyone btdt?

[chiqanita]

Mom diagnosed this week...she's 68....it's in the middle stages. Seems 'fatty' livers run in her family. Has one (out of 6) sister with a fatty liver. Her aunt died of cirrhosis of the liver back in the 70s...she was in her 50s. Her father had a fatty liver. She is not nor is anyone in her family an alcoholic....big eaters but not drinkers. Anyway, she is also diabetic and had a bleeding ulcer (which is how the cirrhosis was found).

I want to help her with figuring out what she can/cannot eat. Docs suggested NO sodium, NO alcohol, NO caff, NO peppery/spicy foods. Also no fatty foods including limiting oils.

Anyone have experience in this area? Please no sad stories ... I'm having a hard time taking this in as it is. I just want to hear from others who know someone who has this and is doing well.

TIA

No advice, just sending you good wishes to get thru this. Sounds like your mom is pretty lucky to have such a supportive daughter.

Thank you much.

I don't have any information either, but since this thread is at the bottom of the page I am posting so it won't go onto page 2.

I wish you and your Mom good luck with this.
