[|Human|] Dear Dr...., My son, 25 years old, non-vegetarian by choice has been suffering poor liver health, always susceptible to pancreatitis etc. Of late he has been diagnosed with lymph node tuberculosis.  Should he turn vegetarian or does a non-veg diet help him in his recovery with medicines for tuberculosis?  Please advise...Thanks...
[|AI|]  Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.* Certain ingredients of non-vegetarian food are known to damage liver, pancreas, stomach, intestines & general body systems in immunocompromised persons.* I will recommend vegetarian diet with high protein intake (if Liver function are under control) for better recovery with TB.- also adequate content of iron, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, anti-oxidants, carboy Chat Doctor. - total abstinence from alcohol / smoking / any abuse substances are cornerstone of the management along with any diet & medicines. Hope this helps you. Welcome for any further queries. Thanks for using Chat Doctor & giving me an opportunity to assist you. Wishing him fine recovery. Regards dear take care.
