A member asked:

My mother has liver cirrohsis acites portal hypertension diabitic type 2. what is the best diet for her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Complicated: It should be individualized for your mom as the cirrhosis can quickly lead to malnutrition state but you also need diabetes controlled. A nutritionist through her liver doctor can help. You can go wrong in the meantime with high quality lean proteins and watching salt intake.
