I am allowed one alcoholic beverage per month. I figure there's a reason so I don't have any but I know I can.

@contentandwell, I agree that grapefruit and pomagranit juice is delish but the main reason we have to avoid it is because it contains an enzyme that will destroy our anti-rejection medications completely anyone that takes high blood pressure meds has to also avoid bot pom and grapefruit for the exact same reason I know as both my kids are on blood pressure meds not for high blood pressure but they use it for their.

@donnan I wonder if your physician would say the same after a liver transplant. My doctor did say, for very special occasions, I could have a drink, such as a champagne toast at my daughter's wedding. I always prefer asking the doctor because the NP goes strictly by the letter of the law, no exceptions. The doctor knows when he/she can be a tad more lenient.

@glinda. Thanks, I did realize it is because of how it affects the medications, and I follow that strictly. I presume grapefruit must be the worst because that tends to be the one they stress. I do not remember any mention of pomegranate until recently, nor does my husband.

@contentandwell I love the way you worded "you don't want to up that battle". Thanks for sharing that.

@beckyjohnson My son was the first person to suggest to me that perhaps the not drinking was due to that transplanted liver already fighting for it's life, and alcohol is toxic to your liver. He is not medically inclined at all so when he comes up with something like that, that could be the reason, it always surprises me. As I said previously though, I am now thinking it has to do with the immunosuppressants.

@contentandwell It has been my experience that when the light comes on for anyone, especially someone without inclination towards the subject matter there is usually something to it. Your son has cause to believe that since he connected those dots. There is no doubt immunosuppressants play a role
