My father is suffering from gall bladder cancer on 4th stage what diet I should give to him and now he is felling very weak so what should I do.

Question

Hi lybrate-user,
I appreciate you seeking help. Well, cachexia (muscle wasting) is a common problem seen in cancer patients, especially its all the more vigorous in advanced stage cancer patients. A high protein diet usually helps in this condition. Try including more of low fat milk, egg whites, home made cottage cheese, whey protein, vegetable proteins including sprouts of alfalfa, mung, broccoli etc all into the daily diet regimen. Stay well hydrated and take tender coconut juice 4 times a week. Even high protein dietary supplement formulas can help build up. The above-mentioned is subject to his oncologist's/ physician's concurrence and supervision. Please note that treatment with alternative medications (including homeopathy) can be instrumental in the well being of the patient in general, and can improve clinical outcomes too. You can connect with relevant details including diagnostics, and treatment history etc all for a detailed and precise diet plan that suits him contextually. Hope this helps. Do take care and all the very best.

Dear lybrate-user, Kindly let me know if your father is under any treatment. If he is under any chemo therapy treatment he will be experiencing weakness and also vomiting with reduced appetite. Kindly provide him natural health supplements like fresh fruit juices and frequent meals to give him strength for his usual activities. Vitamin supplements and protein supplements are also advisable.
