The basic rule of the neutropenic diet is to avoid anything raw or not thoroughly cooked. This includes all uncooked vegetables and most uncooked fruits, as well as raw or rare meat, fish and eggs. Eggs must be cooked until the yolk is no longer runny. Fruits with a tough, thick skin, such as bananas and oranges, are OK to eat uncooked. While on a neutropenic diet, you may only have pasteurized milk, cheese, yogurt and dairy products. Yogurt that contains live, active cultures and mold-ripened and blue-veined cheeses, such as brie, Gorgonzola, bleu and Camembert, are not permitted.
However, smaller portion sizes and eating these foods less often is appropriate for people with kidney failure. Some dairy substitutes, dairy foods that fit in a kidney diet are mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, rice or almond milk, some brands of Greek and regular yogurt and cottage cheese.
