Neutropenia diet tips for patients with low neutrophil counts
If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with bone marrow failure, or has just undergone a bone marrow transplant, this condition can cause a weakened immune system that requires a special diet.
If you have a very low number of neutrophils (low white blood cell count), ask your doctor for information about a special diet called diet neutropenia. This diet helps you limit exposure to bacteria and fungi that are usually present in food. This will reduce your risk of getting a food-borne disease (food poisoning). If your doctor feels diet neutropenia is the best diet for you, consider consulting a nutritionist. General practitioners or local hospital doctors can refer you to nutritionists in your area.
Tips that need to be considered during neutropenic

- Avoid buffet, salad bars and crowded restaurants, where bacteria or bacterial contamination can more easily contaminate your food. Don't try free food samples.

- Wash and peel fresh fruit and vegetables well before eating them; also avoid raw beans.
