can you have dairy on neutropenic diet
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.
