I understand that it is better to eat a high fat meal with ribavirin. Would you care to share your meal ideas? That would be very helpful.

Hi Peanut -

That's a good question. I'm genotype 3 and completed Sovaldi/Riba treatment on April 17, 2015, having gone through Interferon/Riba treatment 3 years ago. I researched the fat issue the first time through, and continued with those guidelines this time. I'm not sure if there are new numbers available, but here's the info I learned previously.

The best results seem to be when you consume a meal with 20 grams of fat, followed by ribavirin.

As for meal ideas, I don't have any recipes for you, but I meticulously weigh or measure, then write down, ingredients and whatever nutritional info I'm concerned about. After a while I get to know what's what without having to be quite so attentive.

In general, I don't do any low-fat ingredients (milk, yogurt, etc.) I don't buy low-fat beef (ground or otherwise), and just accept the minimal weight gain that comes with it.

Good luck -

Dan
