[/INST] Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. It is unfortunate that your father has landed up in cirrhosis. Since the liver function would have been deteriorated to a large extent in people with cirrhosis of liver, it is better to avoid fats and oily foods in them. You have to give soft, easy to digest simple carboy Chat Doctor.  Also, the amount of protein consumption also needs to be less. You can supplement with vitamins and minerals. Keep a check on liver enzymes, total protein and albumin levels in blood at least once in 6 months. Hope the information provided would be helpful. </s>
