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.
* It is very important for you to eat enough high-value protein to keep your body healthy. * Dairy products are high-value protein, but are also high in phosphorus. You may need to use less dairy products in your diet to control your blood level of phosphorus. Vegetable or plant proteins are low-value proteins. Examples of low-value proteins are: bread, cereals, dried beans, nuts, rice, pasta or noodles and vegetables.
