<s>[INST] Hi, my name is Sammy and I am suffering from an very painful enlarged spleen. I have been researching the types foods I should eat to help ease my pain and reduce the swelling. Is there anything else beside meds that i can do to alleviate the pain.  Surgery is not an option as I have a comprised liver and no gall badder. [/INST] Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor.  Apple cider that has been boiled down to syrup, taken by tablespoon as a tonic, can ease enlarged spleen.  Milk thistle supplement, in the form of a capsule or tablet supports liver and spleen function. The two organs work closely together, and an enlarged spleen is often caused by an overworked liver.  A diet high in fruit, along with plenty of water, will help keep the lymphatic system clean. Increase intake of high-fiber fruits such as apples, bananas and blueberries. When suffering from an enlarged spleen, avoid fatty and processed foods. These foods are difficult to digest and put significant strain on the liver and spleen.  Increase water intake to shrink spleen.  Also add dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, Chat Doctor.  </s>
