Hello Pat,
I hope you are doing well and getting ready for the Holidays!
My husband has the same restrictions, avoid grapefruit and orange juice but I need to ask our doctor if there is any specific one, regarding the fish oil, Vit E and flax, they haven't told us, matter fact he does take flax seeds for constipation.
Thank you for the information, I will ask.
Again, hope you and your family have a beautiful and amazing Holidays season!
Thank you Jackie.
Through my health team , the list of foods to avoid are grapefruit and Seville oranges . Also no fish oil , vitamin E or flax .
Hope you and your husband have a better day. God is Amazing .
Hello Pat,
My apology for not answering before, we had been going through very roughs time for the past two weeks.... during chemo treatment and after SCT (STEM CELL TRANSPLANT) my husband has had the same diet you saw my leukemia team shared on this chat. I continue him on same diet since our oncologist tells me that he still needs to be on it. Hope this diet the team shared will helped you.
Take care and continue positive, God is amazing!
