I have LGLL, and when I drink low sugar orange juice I get pains in my chest and groin and don't know if that is good or I am irritating the leukemia? Is it creating inflamation ?

Hi @jumper123, I would think if you get pains in your chest and groin when you drink orange juice, that would be something to avoid for the time being.
You’re in treatment right now for LGLL. There are some foods/drinks which can interact with medications or irritate the intestinal tract. During my cancer treatments and post transplant recovery I had a list of fruits to avoid such as Seville oranges…so basically, no ‘Cuties’ with my lunch. I also couldn’t have grapefruit or its juice, no pomegranate juice.
If you’re looking for a ways to get your day daily vitamin C, there are many fruits and veggies that you could try. Here’s a list of 27 healthy foods to get your daily intake of vitamin C with the acidic stomach.
Have you talked to your doctor about the chest and groin pains associated with drinking the juice?

@jumper123 orange juice is acidic. I can aggravate GERD which could explain chest pain, but not groin.
