Diet Therapy for Cystitis
At the onset of acute cystitis, it is essential to withhold all
solid foods immediately. If there is fever, the patient should
fast on water or tender coconut water for three or four days.
If there is no fever, raw vegetable juices, especially carrot
juice, should be taken every two or three hours. Half a glass
of carrot juice should be mixed with an equal quantity of
water and taken at a time. For the next two to three days,
only ripe fruits may be taken three or four times daily.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient may gradually embark
upon a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on seeds, nuts,
grains, vegetables, and fruits. The patient should avoid
refined carbohydrates and salt with food and in cooking.
