Liver Loving Recipes – Tuna Salad
No one can pass a protein packed tuna salad with fresh veggies without feeling good about their diet. This little plate has 7 grams of protein and only 15 grams of good fat. The best part is that there is only about 75 mg. of low sodium in the whole plate! Talk about a meal for those taking Telaprevir, this is heaven! If you have cirrhosis or hepatitis c, this one is for you.
The Miracle Whip is the lowest sodium spread that I have found. I use it to make my Easy Low Sodium Mayonnaise. Check out how easy it is! The Westbrae Natural mustard has NO sodium! Loving this salad! xoxo Karen:)
Prep time 5 minutes. Serves 2. Just double or triple it if you are serving more. My dinner last night was the one in the pic. Try all of the liver loving recipes at ihelpc.com xo, Karen Hoyt

Tuna (in olive oil) dressed with red vinegar and freshly-ground pepper is a winner if you like acidic flavors. I often add a few capers, chopped onion and a can of cannellini beans.
(Now that I’m reading your blog, I guess I’ll have to skip the capers and look for the lo-sodium beans!)
But seriously, try a few dashes of red vinegar on your tuna. Much more delicious than it might sound.
I’m SO with you on the red vinegar. I actually joined a vinegar club. I don’t buy a lot cuz it’s expensive. But I’m loving a lemony one right now too. Basalmic is my fave. Thanks for sharing!
I have liver disorder and Crohn’s can’t eat the raw veggys but I love tuna don’t know about viniger any suggestions
I’m sorry to hear about the Crohn’s and liver disease combo. It makes it harder. Eating cooked veggies are good for you too. I’m also a HUGE fan of tuna and eat it quite a lot. You can make a salad with avocado mayonnaise or home made mayo too.
I think my tuna bake recipe is in the book as well. As far as vinegar, I like to use it in salad dressings. I have to be more careful now because my dentist told me to reduce too much vinegar.
You’re wise to be reading about how to manage your liver disease. I wish you all the best. Please stay in touch.

My husband is the one with the diagnosis of Nash Cirrhosis. He really is having a difficult time with the ammonia build up. I feel like your book will be helpful to us. Is the ebook one which we can put on any computer or an Android Smartphone?
I am very impressed with your determination to beat these diseases you have been faced with. Congratulations and I pray God will continue to bless you in your journey.
Sincerely
Yes! This book can be saved on any computer or tablet. I’ve got it on my phone and my kindle. If you need help after purchasing, let me know and I’ll make sure you get a copy for any device.
I’m so sorry to hear about your husband and his NASH disease. Hepatic encephalopathy is such a cruel aspect of ammonia build up. Is he taking Xifaxin or Lactulose? I used a combination of diet and medication to find relief.
Thank you for your kind words and God bless you as you care for your husband this year.

Hello Karen thanks for the advice and helping people, I was diagnosed with a fatty liver disease since today doctor’s unable to assist me properly, I would like to know what meals or salads can I make I’m using tuna as well, and suffer with a lot of acid lately any advice or help please, God Bless
Hilary,
I hope this finds you improving after reading the Liver Loving Diet. Have you tried eating more alkaline foods? I too have struggled with acidity, and use a ph filter for my water. It’s hard to give up coffee, or even tomatoes – but the fewer acidic foods I eat, the better it goes for me. I even gave up salsa until it settled down.
Also, does your doctor recommend a tums type tablet? I’m rambling here, but Sanka coffee substitute even helped for a while. Now I”m down to one cup a day and it’s better.
Has your doctor suggested a visit with a nutritionist? Of course, mine didn’t really do anything other than to reinforce that I was moving in the right direction. I hope you’ll keep me posted. Many here have fatty liver disease, and are dealing with diet and also ALT and AST liver numbers too.
We’re all wishing you well, and you’re not alone.

Is your book filled with recipes, if so where can I purchase it? My husband was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and trying to cook for him is hard! Thank you
This is ideal for fatty liver disease, or any liver disease. I hope you were able to find the link on the home page of my site. Just click the ihelpc at the top and you will see the book on the right. It’s an ebook and only costs $4.99. I’ve received a lot of great feedback on it!
All best to you,

It’s not on Amazon, because they wanted to charge a lot. This is $4.99 and has over 250 recipes plus shopping, cooking, and a ton of life saving tips.

I also have liver cancer with no gallbladder. Need to eat now.help
Larry,
I hope that you’re enjoying the Liver Loving Diet book and find some recipes that will help you stay strong during this struggle. How are they treating the cancer? It’s a tough time, but I feel like your confidence grows when you put faith in your doctor and eat healthy foods. Drink a lot of water, and stay out of fear if possible. Use whatever mental and spiritual tools that are available to you.
Sending hugs,
Karen
Were you able to get the book? Please email me personally and let me know if you didn’t. I wrote this while struggling with liver cancer. I hope you’re being cared for by a good team.
Will you update me please?

I was told that I had Cirrhosis about 7-12cm on my liver.
I have started eating better and exercising.
Will the Cirrhosis continue to increase, or can it be stopped for growing with diet and exercise?
Hello and thanks for commenting.
SO YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIVER. I’ve seen it happen countless times. You will have to get rid of the cause of inflammation and then within a few years, it can even reverse.
There were friends on the website who no longer even stop by because they wrote to me that their liver is no longer inflammed and the scarring fibrosis has reduced.
Of course the disclaimer to talk to your doctor etc is always true. Keep me posted. If you have been eating right and stopped inflammation, you may be 1,000 times better now.
Sending all best and a request to check in and let me know how you are!
