Nutrition for a liver cirrhosis patient
I am looking for an experienced nutritionist for my dad, who is suffering from liver cirrhosis for the past 4 years now. He is losing weight and currently weighs 51kg. His normal weight is 58 - 62 kg.
I need a professional nutritionist who can help him with a diet plan but more importantly can suggest him supplements as necessary based on his medical reports. Looking for someone who has already patients with liver disorders. Thank you.
