When treating glandular fever, diet is vital to a good recovery.

In the initial acute stage of glandular fever it is best to eat lightly. Glandular fever symptoms like fever, sore throat, swollen glands, mucous production and malaise are common, and will often result in a poor appetite.

I recommend my patients initially do a liquid-only diet of vegetable juices, broths, soups, herb teas, lemon drinks and pure water for a few days. This provides the body with adequate nutrition whilst resting the gastrointestinal tract so energy can be diverted into healing the body.

Good diet choices for glandular fever include miso soup, chicken broth, potassium broth and herb teas like fenugreek, ginger, boneset and coltsfoot.

Freshly squeezed vegetable juices based around lots of green vegetables like celery, cucumber and spinach are very cleansing. You can add a small amount of carrot, parsnip or beet root to sweeten your juice, or add some ginger or garlic to give it a warming effect.

Garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, turmeric, chilli peppers, and onions should be consumed in your teas, broths and juices due to their powerful health benefits for the throat and respiratory system.

You will also need to eliminate your intake of all dairy products and grains, as they contribute to mucus in the body. In addition, avoid coffee, sugar, alcohol, soft drinks and artificial colors and flavorings.
