Lifestyle while on tacrolimus for 6+ months

Food, i was really careful the first 6 months. Slowly i added back foods. Sushi and items like that. Anything that potentially carries any germs. Introducing any food item with potential harmful cultures like in some dairy. Rare meat? Might it have a micro germ in it not cooked out? Focus on good foods. Restaurants? 63 days? If you said that I would think it is the first 100 days. For me, I was with my caregiver at her house with the same guidelines for the first 100 days. With a BMT your husband does not have an immune system yet to fight off germs.

@katgob thanks so much for the detailed insight! Very helpful. I realized my initial post was not super clear, sorry! We are definitely staying quarantined and practicing food safety for the first 100d — I was more so curious about the period post-100d, but still on tacrolimus. Your response covers it though! Thanks, and really great to hear you’re doing well.
