Seville oranges question about effect on immunosuppressants

@contentandwell, Both my Home with my kidney and my Home with liver packets recommend to "Avoid alcohol". It also says that if you have any questions to discuss it with your transplant doctor.
At my annual checkup in April it was the kidney doctor who replied to my question, "How can I best keep my transplanted organs healthy as I enter my next 10 years. Without blinking an eye, he said to me, "Take your meds, get your routine labs, and no alcohol". There was no doubt what he was telling me!

When I went for my one year checkup at Mayo after kidney transplant , she asked if we were going to celebrate with maybe a glass of champagne. It kind of also felt like a suggestion. My daughter, the donor was with. She told me that I must be taking good care of my kidney and maybe because my test results all looked so good, she felt it was ok. We did have lunch at Canadian Honker before we left and each of us had a glass of wine to celebrate. I've never been a drinker other than maybe a glass of champagne or wine at a wedding.

@rosemarya Interesting that the kidney packet said no alcohol too. I suppose that different transplant centers handle things differently. I of course abide by all the restrictions that my transplant center imposes. I asked them again about not having the shingles vaccine and there was a reason for it. I wish I could remember what it was! I’m so bad with medical jargon. .
