Dr. Dodd's Liver Cleansing Diet contains potatoes and sweet potatoes. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Dr Dodds Liver Cleansing Diet

The key is that the diet contain complex carbohydrates like rice or potatoes or even oatmeal to absorb the ammonia and other toxins so the liver doesn't have to.
Tiki doesn't like fish, so the liver cleansing diet would be my last choice, unless I substitute chicken. I will be using brown rice rather than the jasmine rice I have used so far. She actually ate a little more Vegetarian kibble tonight

So LadyMom, how much does Lady weigh, and do you feed her any kibble or anything in addition to the homecooked 1 cup a day?
