Supplements for recovering from life threatening illness

[Heartsandbirds]

I’m just home from 11 days in hospital with appendicitis, peritonitis and sepsis. They couldn’t operate for various reasons so I’m going back in 8 weeks to have the appendix out. I’m trying to build myself up between now and then so I’m as well as possible. What supplements/foods/spices/anything else have you found most helpful for recovering from severe illness? Thanks!

So sorry, sounds like a terrible ordeal.
I've known lots of people rave about turmeric for all sorts of ailments and general wellbeing.
High strength though and you need to take black pepper as well in order to absorb it.

Sorry to hear you have been so Ill. I’d get the best multi vitamin you can find (check what vitamins are in each type and amounts per vitamin). I’d also look at collagen supplements to take.

that and ensuring you are eating an absolute minimum of 5 fruit and veg a day etc.

I think rest and sleep will also be important x
