I’ve just started chemo and have been told to no long take my kefir, which has been so helpful for my gut health. Any views?

  • Hi  

    I think it is because Kefir contains live cultures, which is what we call a good bacteria, but you are very prone to infections whilst on chemo and it can interfere with gut health. 

    Can I suggest you ask this question in the Ask a Nurse group, where a professional nurse can answer this properly for you. Just click on the link I’ve added, and then make a post in the same way you have here.
