A Diet for Tuberculosis Patients

Last Updated: Mar 30, 2011 | By Bethany Fong, R.D.

Tuberculosis

Prevention

You Might Also Like

Tuberculosis, or TB, is an air-borne

infectious disease that affects the

lungs. TB is preventable by eating a

healthy diet that supports a strong

immune system. A nutritious diet is also

important for people with existing TB,

because malnutrition is a common

complication of the disease. The

healthiest diet for TB is rich in nutrient-

dense foods that are packed with

essential vitamins, minerals and

nutrients.

TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to MayoClinic.com, symptoms of TB

include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, fever, night sweats, chills, loss of appetite, coughing, coughing up

blood and chest pain. Malnutrition and a weak immune system are risk factors for TB. Eating a healthy diet

can help prevent and improve malnutrition, strengthen the immune system and prevent unintentional weight

loss caused by TB.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables to strengthen the immune system and prevent TB, advises MayoClinic.com.

Other nutrient-packed foods include whole grains, low-fat dairy products and lean proteins. Vitamins that are

particularly important for a healthy immune system include vitamins A, C, E and D. Vitamins A, C and E are

antioxidants that protect the body by destroying harmful oxygen molecules called free radicals. Free radicals

are known to destroy cells and tissues and contribute to chronic diseases. According to the Office Of Dietary

Supplements, vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system. Individuals who are unable to consume

enough vitamins through a healthy diet may benefit from taking vitamin or multivitamin supplements.

Net Wellness, a service of the University of Cincinnati, says a balanced diet can fight TB and prevent protein

and nutrient deficiencies that commonly occur with the disease. A nutritious diet adheres to federal dietary

guidelines and includes 2 cups of fruit, 2 ½ cups of vegetables, 3 oz. of whole grain, 3 cups of low-fat milk or

an equivalent amount of dairy products, like cheese or yogurt, and lean proteins like chicken, lean ground

beef, fish, seafood, soy, beans, nuts and legumes. Fat should be limited to 20 to 35 percent of total calories

and less than 300mg of cholesterol and 2,300mg of sodium should be consumed on a daily basis.

People with TB should not drink alcohol because it can damage the liver when taking TB medications like

isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampin, says the American Academy of Family Physicians. Alcohol is also low in

essential nutrients and has few health benefits.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, herbs and supplements that have been used with TB

include antioxidants like N-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid and resveratrol, probiotics, beta-sitosterol, green

tea, aged garlic, astragalus and rhodiola. Individuals with TB should consult a physician before taking herbs

or supplements because many have not been scientifically proven to be safe or effective and are not

regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
