Have ascites, what diet to follow?
I have mild ascites but my liver is functioning normally. I was recommended a fluid diet so I started having papaya pulp and minute maid juice. I already had a bloated stomach prior to this which got aggravated after having the pulp and juice. My stomach became hard and bloated and started paining. I had to vomit out the pulp and the juice to feel relief. I am also feeling weakness because of this. My bowels are clear (checked through ultrasound) but I don't pass any stool when I'm in the toilet. My urine is yellow has high urea content. What kind of food, in what frequency and quantity should I take so that my bloated stomach is not aggravated?
