Dear Patient,

Unfortunately, TB does bring about severe weight loss. Some of the best foods for TB patients include the yellow-orange fruits and vegetables such as orange, mango, papaya, sweet pumpkin, carrots which are rich in Vitamin A, while Vitamin C is obtained from fresh fruits including guava, amla, orange, tomato, sweet lime, lemon, capsicum.
Here is an article with some more details. Alternatively, you could meet a nutritionist who can guide you step by step.
