Are fruits rich in Vit C ok to eat? Curious...

EissetB

I am kind of curious about eating fruits rich in Vit C as in oranges, pineapple and so on, since we can't take Vit C supplement. Is this possible?

Vitamin C

Ate plenty of fruit while on chemo - no one told me not to, and I had no problem.  Did great as you can see from my signature.

Have Not Heard Of Fruit Being Frowned Upon

I was not told to curtail fruits or vegatables during chemo.  Unless you are eating 1,000 oranges a day, in which event probably advise against it 

I am not sure a multivitamin is even frowned upon.  I think some of the extreme measures are where doctors get concerned and where it can interefere with treatments.

Thanks to your prompted

Thanks to your prompted replies. I am truly confused on what to eat anymore. I love eating fruits and cooked vegetables, not much on meat though.

I was thinking since we can't

I was thinking since we can't take Vit C supplement then it might meant we can't eat fruits rich in Vit C either. I totally lost it. I'll blame having brain fog to chemo.

We can't take vitamin C

We can't take vitamin C supplement? I've never heard that. Or did I read that here at some point? Chemo brain for me, too.
