Yes, you can generally drink milk if you have hepatitis. There's no inherent reason for individuals with hepatitis to avoid dairy products.
Milk and other dairy products are valuable sources of essential nutrients, including:
- Calcium: Crucial for bone health.
- Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Important for energy production and cell function.
- Protein: Essential for tissue repair and building.
- Vitamin B12: Necessary for nerve function and red blood cell formation.
Excluding dairy from your diet can make it challenging to obtain sufficient calcium.
Therefore, unless you have a specific dairy allergy or lactose intolerance, or unless your doctor has specifically advised you otherwise due to a particular complication of your hepatitis, milk and dairy products are generally safe and nutritious to consume.
