What do you suggest if my mother has liver cirrohsis acites portal hypertension diabitic type 2 what is the best diet plan or food?

Diet isn't the key: You need to find out (1) whether there is a treatable cause for her cirrhosis (hepatitis C is now usually curable if you can get the Rx; hepatitis B is manageable; even stopping alcohol can partly reverse a cirrhosis) (2) whether she's a candidate for transplant or portocaval shunt.

She can be ok: Not to smoke, minimize salt, eliminate saturated fats, be modest with all meats, eat fruit, veggies, and whole grains, minimize caffeine, exercise daily, select foods rich in magnesium and potassium, avoid sugars, breads, pasta. Stay complex with fruit and veggies.
