Typhoid results in gastrointestinal conditions and so it is important to follow a diet that contains food which are easy to digest. So the first requirement of any typhoid treatment plan is that all the included foods are mashed or at the least cooked properly until they are very soft.
Slightly overcooked
rice along with yogurt should be included in a diet as rice contains a small
amount of fiber that helps to regulate the digestive system while yogurt
contains healthy cultures that reduce the severity of stomach flu.
-Avoid
milk as it is tougher to digest and is likely to aggravate diarrhoea.
-Steamed
fruits are good to take.
-
Homemade vegetable soups are good to consume.
-
Puddings, Porridge, Custard etc are good to take.
-Avoid
high fiber foods such as cabbage, capsicum etc.
-A
typical recovery diet plan can also include lentils , legumes and even cottage
cheese in their diet .
-Avoid
leafy vegetables, raw vegetables and fruits because they contain lot of fibers.
-Simple, cooked, soft
and mashed fruits/vegetables without excessive fats and spices will help
patient recover faster.
To Remember:
-
Sufficient intake of fluids and salts should be ensured.
- Small meals should
be given at frequent intervals.
