Foods to Limit or Avoid:
* Sugary drinks like soda, fruit juice, and sweetened teas
* Alcohol (limit to no more than one drink daily for women, two for men)
* Caffeinated drinks, which can interfere with iron absorption
* Unhealthy saturated fats found in butter and fried foods (keep under 10% of daily calories)
* Processed and ultra-processed foods
* Foods high in sodium like packaged snacks, condiments, and takeout
If You're Experiencing Diarrhea:
Avoid spicy foods, caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and dairy products. These can make symptoms worse.
Food Safety Concerns:
With a weakened immune system, avoid:
* Raw or undercooked meat, fish, and eggs
* Unpasteurized dairy and certain soft cheeses
* Unwashed fruits and vegetables
Special Medication Considerations:
If you're taking BTK inhibitors, avoid grapefruit and Seville oranges (including their juices), as they can increase drug levels in your body.
Always check with your healthcare team about specific dietary restrictions based on your treatment plan and any kidney function concerns.
