Typhoid drains almost all of the energy from the body and loses appetite adversely. Following an effective diet after thyroid recovery is very important. Typhoid is a caused due to consumption of contaminated water or food. It is associated with fever and is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. The digestive system is affected and because of this, post-recovery would result in hunger and headaches. A low appetite might also be experienced after recovering from typhoid for a few weeks. However, one cannot skip on meals as it helps in proper functioning of the body.

A proper diet after typhoid recovery will help in bringing the lost appetite back:

  1. Plan small meals and have those meals kept in short intervals.
  2. Post typhoid, it might be hard to have heavy meals, so instead, have three to five small meals a day. Make sure those small meals are nutritious and fibrous. This will help in nourishing the body, regaining lost energy and increasing the food intake.
  3. Keep up a diet that has high carbohydrate intake like glucose, fruit juices with sugar, rice, barley water, coconut water etc.
  4. Have a protein-rich diet that is highly digestible like mashed potatoes, avocado’s, custards, eggs, soft cooked vegetables etc.
  5. Including almonds, roasted chana, and walnuts will be an additional to health benefits.
  6. The diet after typhoid recovery should be full of proteins, vitamins and fats as it will in gaining energy and also for a speed recovery.
