Hi all, I see that this discussion has taken a slight diversion to vitamin C.

The National Kidney Foundation provides a list of foods and supplements that kidney transplant recipients should avoid. See:
- What You Need to Know Post-Transplant: Common Nutrient and Herbal Interactions https://www.kidney.org/transplantation/transaction/TC/winter14/What_You_Need_to_Know_PostTx

Foods to avoid include citrus fruits such as grapefruit, pomegranate and Seville oranges. Top of the list of supplements to avoid is vitamin C. "For transplant recipients, the most frequent interactions are those that activate the immune system and those that affect the ability of the drug to enter or exit the blood. As a result, some foods and herbal products are no longer safe to consume after receiving a transplant."

If you have been told differently, it may be wise to review the list with your transplant team or pharmacist, and let them know if you have been eating or taking some of the things on the list. It never hurts to be certain what is right for you.
