Yogurt prevents absorption of cell cept. It's best to eat forbidden food 2 to 3 hours after you take your meds.
In the past year I have been doing anti inflammatory diet.
Now anybody who knows me knows I like to use myself as a test dummy 😎
That being said
It works for me.
I'm doing intermittent fasting right now along with the diet because it is very difficult to evacuate my bowels,
So I'm down to 2 meals a day until the end of this month.
I fast 16 hours and eat my meals and drink my smoothies in an 8 hour period. I can have water and tea while fasting.
I try to eat only fresh veggies and fruits.
No nuts except my almond milk, which is only used in my tea. No dairy except boiled eggs. 1 a day.
Very little bread of any kind
Of the which I will have a sandwich sometimes but no cheese.
I eat meat, fish, poultry whatever I like.
My smoothies consist of 1 to 3 different fruits. A probiotic shot and 1/8 to 1/4 cup of almond milk. That usually fills me up right away and then I'll have my meal a few hours later.
I keep it simple and light.
Well my diet has changed again.
I can't have the leafy, green veggies anymore because of cellcept and ice cut back on foods like rice because of asphyxiation.
I'm doing more easy to chew and swallow foods and smoothies. My list isn't that different I guess but the portions and bites are smaller.
Less chocolate 😔 . More fruit smoothies. No more yogurt. Cellcept says no. 🙄
Trying to stay hopeful 😎
What is important is to eat FRESH fruit and vegetable , and not out of tins and packets, Please READ the labels , so that you understand what you are consuming out of packets and tins, just because a label says healthy, it does not mean it is!
No processed foods, low sodium.
Most supermarkets spray their fruit and vegetables with chemicals to make them last longer.
Any take away foods are unhealthy!!
The list goes on and on.
Consume bone broth, chicken and veg.
It is expensive to buy, but you can make your own own for a couple of $$$
There I have said it😃🙏
Try making food smaller or if you can blend some and leave smaller pieces in it to go down better I found textures of food difficult like bread crackers some biscuits and meat especially beef . Chicken fish and other softer meats were ok ,it seems we have to go backwards and eat like babies and keep trying different food to find out what will go down well with no problems. I'm sorry you are having this issue as food is important and we love to eat naturally because we also reward ourselves this way good luck with your diet
