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

In addition to avoiding certain foods, it is important to include certain foods in the diet to help improve liver health.

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

Whole grains Whole grains such as oats, barley, and quinoa are high in fiber and can help reduce inflammation and improve liver health.

Lean proteins Lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and beans are high in essential nutrients and can help reduce inflammation and improve liver health.

Healthy fats Healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, and avocados are high in healthy fats and can help reduce inflammation and improve liver health.

Herbs and spices Herbs and spices such as turmeric, garlic, and ginger are high in antioxidants and can help reduce inflammation and improve liver health.

It is important to avoid certain foods when living with autoimmune hepatitis. Generally, it is best to avoid processed and fried foods, as well as dairy, gluten, and sugar, as they can trigger inflammation. Additionally, it is important to limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol, as they can both worsen liver damage. It is also important to make sure you are eating a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as lean proteins. Finally, make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush toxins from your body.
