A member asked:

I have hepatitis b, what diets should i eat, or avoid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Unless you are in the end stages of cirrhosis with hepatic failure there is no need to adjust your diet as long as you have a healthy balanced intake. There is therapy available if you have chronic active hepatitis b, and should consult with a hepatologist or a GI doctor or id doctor with interest in hepatitis. Good luck.

At the start of this year my brother who is 32, had the viral Hepatitis-A virus but it was gone from his body within 2 months and he is doing well since then. My question is, will his liver repair itself on it's own with proper diet and rest?
