The Hepatitis C Cookbook

The Hepatitis C Cookbook is a tool for assisting anyone who suffers from hepatitis C to live a longer and healthier life through good food management practices. Hepatitis C is not always fatal-it can be fought-and although there are strict dietary guidelines, eating doesn't have to be a miserable experience. By using these medical dietary guidelines, The Hepatitis C Cookbook provides a road map to healthy, tasty foods and their enjoyment. Following these dietary changes can also make a significant difference in one's attitude as well as in the frequency, variety, and severity of symptoms. All of this can enhance the quality of life for anyone with hepatitis C. In 1998 the author discovered that her father had a severe case of hepatitis C. The doctors told her that he was very ill and did not have long to live. She was given a very basic, very bland, diet for him to follow, but she wanted to give her father a better quality of life. Once his condition stabilized, she began experimenting with recipes that would taste good and be healthy and also conform to dietary guidelines for the disease. More than six years later, her father continues to enjoy life. Book jacket.
