Start infusions next week will taking calquence when I start
I was ld I wold have to go a Brat diet bananas apple sauce rice and toast trying to find out how long you will need to be on ths diet ad has anyone done this because it don't look to health on what you have to eat or do I have to follow this diet
Has anyone have any information what they ate or how long do you have do this or do you have to do this
Thank you for any information you might can give me
William, good luck with treatment. I take Calquence. I eat gumbos, etouffees, shrimp creole, jambalaya and fricaseed rabbit. I make a great 4 pepper chili from my own recipe. On the healthier side I make a good Apple chicken salad with apples, chicken, celery, red onions and fresh eggs.
Grilling burgers today to watch the games and some andoullie sausage.
While I do try to eat healthier, calquence hasn’t changed my diet much. Grapefruit should not be eaten. I haven’t had grapefruit since my diagnosis. To be fair, I didn’t eat grapefruit before either. Good luck with your treatment.
Who on earth told you a BRAT diet is a requirement for Calquence initiation? I think you have either misunderstood something, or else that person did. Because it's NOT a "requirement." In fact, the BRAT diet is no longer recommended, period. The American Academy of Pediatrics used to recommend it, but no longer. Because, as you noticed, it's not very healthy.

It was developed in 1926 for children having diarrhea, after the fact. Not as a preventative. And modern medicine says it's no longer used/recommended in kids, and that it can actually prolong digestive issues.

My nurse that going to do my infusions she wrote it on my papers when she went over the treatment and medicaionBut my Dr did not say anything about it
Thank you for that information
Hmmm sounds like she has well meaning but outdated advice. My doc tells me to use loperamide & maintain hydration when I have diarrhea, and "eat lightly".
I have been eating whatever I want since starting Acalabrutinib
