What is the diet for people with mesenteric lymphadenitis?

Question
Hello doctor,
May I ask what is the diet for people with mesenteric lymphadenitis? What kind of meat and vegetables can you eat? Can you eat sweets and bread? I was hospitalized with abdominal pain and was hospitalized for 1 week of antibiotic treatment and then went home but was only told not to eat fatty and spicy food.

Lymphadenopathy is a condition in which the lymph nodes, which are tissues that help the body fight disease, become inflamed.

You should eat foods that are easy to digest, drink a lot of water, can choose some liquid food, toast, bananas, crackers, boiled vegetables, boiled potatoes and chicken, avoid junk food a lot spicy, hot.
