Pregnancy-style diet is a good guide for avoiding foods that have bacteria that could give you grief if you have low immunity.
I've never been very good at diet rules though... 😉. I'm on chemo and on the weekend I found myself licking the raw brownie mixture from a bowl, raw egg and all... It was good, too.
Thinking of which... that could go part of the way to explaining my abdominal pain and bloating... 🙄. Nope... I already had that beforehand. Phew. 😂
Wrt alcohol, I've held off drinking just so there isn't yet another chemical/side effect in the mix.
I did have a drink or so on Christmas day because my treatment was delayed due to covid infection and I darn well was going to have a drink. 😄
Wishing you all the best.
