I cannot eat a lot of food that I used to be able to eat, have problems with digestion, acid reflux, and occasional vomiting. Does anyone else with CLL have these problems? I am not on any drug therapy yet.

Yes same here I thought I had fatty liver also my vomiting didn't start till later in my leukemia journey..I ended up real sick and spent 7 hours in Emergency room..so after being down for a while I started tracking what i was eating..I wrote it down and when it happened I looked at my food list and started taken foods out ..and this is how I found out...I also did some research on leukemia to see what foods I should eat and what foods I shouldn't eat . And fried foods was one of the foods I shouldn't be eating..so I track everything now ..

The following link may help some of you in regards to stomach issues. I have had Crohns for 20 plus yrs and the following really really helped me. Process of elimination as you will see, but made a huge difference for me once I found out the foods that triggered my tummy to be very very unhappy:):):)
