Hi there, diet can certainly help to reduce the risk of developing infection due to your low immunity. The following recommendations may help you:
- Meat and meat alternatives – need to be cooked well
- Dairy products – need to be pasteurised (avoid soft cheeses and probiotics)
- Fruit and vegetables – peeled and cooked preferred. Avoid overripe or damaged fruit or vegetables, pasteurised OJ is ok,
- Herbs and spices – need to be cooked
- Water – bottled mineral water
For more detailed advice and a plan that works for you I recommend you speak to an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD). You can find an APD by logging onto www.daa.asn.auReport this post
