Should amyloid patients follow a special diet?
It is important to follow a well-balanced nutritious diet. It is often necessary to make some dietary changes to help relieve symptoms or maintain body weight. This is particularly true in patients with kidney or heart diseases. Any dietary changes deemed necessary will be discussed during evaluation. Should physical activities be restricted? If fatigue or shortness of breath occurs, it is important to rest. Patients should not push themselves or attempt strenuous activities beyond what is recommended by the doctor. Normal daily activities may be carried out as usual. Usually patients can continue working and are encouraged to do so.
