    Hi

    Has anyone taken Wheatgrass and if so has it helped you in any way. I am going to ask my consultant next Monday about it. Daughter-in-law has been taking it for irritable bowel and she feels great.

    Thanks
    Janet

    Whatever works for you shouldl be your guide but be aware that there are certain foodstuffs and drinks that shoud be avoided during certain treatments… grapefruit and grapefruit juice during Velcade for instance if I recall correctly.

    I remember asking my consultant about Tumeric and she sighed. She said that they are asked about certain foods and supplements as a common occurence…as if people are grasping at straws and trying to mix magic and medicine. Her advice was to eat and drink whatever you chosse while on remission or out of treatment but while on treatment stick to the plain and simple and any restrictions noted by your lead nurse.

    I'm in two minds… we follow a high vegetable diet, with a seaweed (kelp) supplement which is also very, very tasty,especially with sweet potato and lamb. But as for the tumeric,wheatgrass and others that raise their heads occasionally… I'm not so sure. But that's just me Janet.:-)

    What a beautiful name you have btw.8-)

    I cant help you with wheat grass Janet but I heard a nutrionist speak and she was very much in favour of antioxidants, found in highly coloured fruit and vegetables, blueberries strawberries, raspberries peppers, beetroot etc. Apparently these can inhibit cell division in cancer cells. Also a low sugar diet is good because again cancer cells use high sugar environments to give them energy to divide. I dont know whether this advice is specific to myeloma but it strikes me as good general advice for healthy eating for anyone,

    All the best, Mari x
