Foods to Avoid

Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by the body's immune system attacking the liver tissues. Dietary changes can help reduce inflammation and improve liver health. People with autoimmune hepatitis should avoid certain foods that may be triggering the inflammation or causing other problems related to the liver.

Refined carbohydrates Refined carbohydrates such as white bread, pasta, and white rice are low in fiber and can cause a spike in blood sugar levels. This can lead to inflammation and damage to the liver.

Saturated fats Saturated fats found in fried foods, processed meats, and whole-milk dairy products can increase inflammation and worsen liver health.

High-fat foods High-fat foods such as red meat, processed cheese, and fried foods can further strain the liver and increase inflammation.

Sugar and artificial sweeteners Too much sugar can cause an increase in blood sugar levels, which can lead to inflammation and liver damage. Artificial sweeteners can also cause inflammation and should be avoided.

Alcohol Alcohol can cause further liver damage and should be avoided completely for people with autoimmune hepatitis.

Foods to Eat

Fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and improve liver health.
