Ask your transplant team to refer you to a dietician, to be sure. I eat blueberry pancakes in GF friendly restaurants. Re. Food poisoning, I did not take antibiotics, i recovered the hard way, in misery.
If you have some local restaurants you would like to patronize, good ones will always invite you to the kitchen door to peek in and speak to the chef/cooks. One look in a kitchen will tell you so much. I’ve gone in super high end kitchens and talked to food truck chefs and always have been welcomed.
I don’t eat publicly served food - costco etc. I don’t eat pot luck food (can’t guarantee food safety) and I avoid eating at some friends houses because they poo-poo my hand washing and food safety preferences. Being super pro-active about research and talking to people is super important to me. So far, it seems to have worked.
Congratulations, 1234 on your year of life post transplant! Gosh, isn’t it a miracle? What a difference!

Agreed. I’ve only eaten in local restaurants for years, to support the local economy and because I do trust their food handling. I have plenty to choose from though and I know many places do not. Or, when traveling it can be more difficult. Talking to the chef and looking in the kitchen is certainly a good idea!
