今天收到小苹果发来一封电邮咨询他同学父亲患特发性肺纤维症的饮食问题，转贴如下，求助大家多多赐教！谢谢。

妈，

同学的父亲在University of Chicago Medical Center被诊断出了Idiopathic Lung Fibrosis。日文叫做”特発性肺繊維症“。我猜想是某一种肺纤维化。中文或许叫做”原发性肺纤维化症“或者”特发性肺纤维症“。

据说此病并无治愈或者减缓的方法。

我同学的问题是：

他听说吃含铁分子（离子？）多的食物会导致肝脏纤维化。他在网上查了一下，但是没有结果。

他就问吃什么样的食物有助于不加重，或者是防止肺纤维化继续发生？

请问问爸爸，或者身边的人。



附同学的信：

Sorry to bother you like this. Just wanted to ask a general question, nothing too long, hopefully. :)

My father was diagnosed with Idiopathic Lung Fibrosis(日:特発性肺繊維症） at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

There is no official treatment to cure or to slow the process of this disease.

My question is:
I have heard in some cases that foods containing high iron（鉄分） can cause fibrosis（繊維症）in the liver(肝臓）.

I tried some research about this, but nothing came up.

Is there some food diet that is generally good for the lungs, or maybe even prevent fibrosis?

Thank you.
