A member asked:

What diet or food/liquids are good to keep a healthy appendix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I am not: aware of any diet that can help or hurt your appendix. Recent studies suggest that certain viral infections might increase your chances of developing acute appendicitis, but this just an association, not cause and effect. And you really can't do much to prevent all viral infections.
