Was told by Gastroenterologists that my HE is also caused because I get too sick to eat (blamed it on the cirrhosis).

Told to eat protein every morning and night.

Found these great (delicious) Power Crunch bars, a Boost pure protein cup and small liquid packets of Nitrica AWC.

I had a frightening reaction to a Paracentesis.

When I was in hospital, the doctor told me too much protein turns into ammonia.

Limited to 40 gr protein per day.

@jeniferwm i was told to eat a lot of protein- like 80
Grams a day pre transplant, but no more than half animal protein- too much animal (vs plant) protein can make you prone to HE. I was also encouraged to eat Whole Foods (not processed stuff). In any case, they key for me was talking to my liver team nutritionist.

What happened with your parentheses?
