    Why aren't you eating fresh
    Why aren't you eating fresh fruit and veggies? Did I miss a post somewhere along the line? The only thing I was told not to eat was shusi.

    No sushi or pedicures
    From everything I've read fruits and veggies are good. I was told to not over-do the anti-oxidants. Many hospitals have nutritionists on board. Maybe ask your dr for a referral to speak with one to get the appropriate diet info for you specifically. Bon appetite!

    good for you
    Dear Lynda, fresh fruits and veggies and very good for you, unless you have to be on a low residue diet for bowel blockage or something. The main thing is to wash them, but then everyone should be washing them. So start enjoying these now. Hugs Bonnie

    transplant
    I had an NK Cell transplant a couple years ago which brings your wbc to 0 and was told to peel or wash things. In the beginning things like grapes and such that cannot be peeled were off limits but not long. Happy Eating to you.

    fruits veggies
    I was told if my WBC goes to low I should stay away from fruit or veggies I could not peel....along with salad bars. I never had problems with low WBCs though.

    the runs
    My mother(uterine Cancer) was told to stay away from raw fruit and veggies during chemotherapy. It was also in the handouts they gave her during chemo "orientation" I believe the danger is e coli bacteria which can be present even after you rinse or peel them. Which can among other things give you diarrhea. However, there is no reason why you can't have them cooked as cooking to a high enough temp destroys E-coli. Take care!
