Jaundice: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Jaundice Treatments

Diet Changes

Whether the underlying causes are associated with cancer or liver damages, dietary changes are necessary for treating jaundice. Typically, a liver-healthy diet should reduce consumption of protein and salt, and increase the intake of carbs. Since the loss of appetite can be a side effect of jaundice, you can try eating small meals, snacks, and smoothies with veggies, fruits, and yogurt or milk. Experiment with different recipes and ingredients to choose the right one that makes you feel appetizing. Avoid eating grapefruit since it could block the effectiveness of many drugs. [11]
