So I told my hubby about the diet for neutropenia and the first thing we changed is yogurt 🍦 he is still nauseous but definately not as bad.
Every little bit counts 🙃

Hi Carrie-ann Could you please share the diet. Thx
There are many Neutropenic diets on the internet some more restrictive than others.
Of equal importance is safe food handling, and meticulous kitchen cleanliness. Skip the deli counter, open buffet service and restaurants, particularly fast food, where food is held for hours in heaters...
Basic Guidelines to Follow
Avoid raw or rare meat and fish and uncooked or undercooked eggs. Cook meat until it's well-done.
Thoroughly cook eggs (no runny yolks) and avoid foods containing raw eggs such as raw cookie dough or homemade mayonnaise.
Avoid unpasteurized beverages, such as fruit juice, milk and raw milk yogurt.
Avoid salad bars and buffets.
Refrigerate pate, cold hot dog or deli meat (including dry-cured salami and deli prepared salads containing these items), eggs or seafood.
Consume only pasteurized milk, yogurt, cheese and other dairy products.
Avoid soft mold-ripened and blue-veined cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola and Bleu or other soft, unpasteurized cheeses.
Avoid raw sprouts, such as alfalfa sprouts.
Wash fresh fruits and vegetables before peeling.
Avoid well water unless it has been tested, filtered, or boiled for one minute before drinking. At home, it's okay to drink municipal tap water or bottled water.
