What are the dietary considerations for high total bilirubin?

In most cases, high total bilirubin reflects an abnormality in liver function, which is mainly due to certain obstacles in bilirubin transportation, uptake, binding and excretion by liver cells, thus causing elevated total bilirubin. It is generally recommended to avoid spicy and stimulating foods that are difficult to digest. Patients are generally advised to eat a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, onions, garlic, coffee and strong tea. Some hard-to-digest foods should also be minimized, such as fried foods, barbecue and so on. The daily diet of patients can be appropriate to eat more fish, soy products and other protein-rich foods, as well as fresh vegetables, fruits, etc., from which vitamins, fiber, minerals, etc. can be taken. The main thing is that the food should be reasonably matched to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients.
