I read in one of the older posts where food can play a part in helping or hurting the blood levels. Can anyone enlighten me on the subject?

I haven’t heard of any foods that would definitely help with levels. Doc just sez to eat a healthy diet – lots of fruits / veggies. But, he also indicates we should be careful eating uncooked veggies in restraunts because we can’t be sure they’re cleaned properly. And, of course, no raw fish/meats.

Good luck,
Judy

There are foods to avoid when you are neutropenic. Be sure and check with a registered dietician. I avoid anything that is fried. I feel my system does best with veggies that are steamed and meats that are broiled with few additives.
