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.
Celiac Disease: Eating a Gluten-Free Diet. Celiac disease is a problem some people have with foods that contain gluten. Gluten is a type of protein found in the grains wheat, barley, rye, and triticale (a wheat-rye cross). When a person with celiac disease eats gluten, it triggers an immune response that is not normal. Some people with celiac disease need to avoid cow's milk and milk products when they first begin treatment. 2  Most people can slowly add dairy foods back into their diet as the intestine heals. 3  But they will still need to avoid foods with gluten for the rest of their lives.
