My dianosis story was somewhat similar. What I haven't seen (which may tell me there isn't) - is if there are any dietary limitations with this particular Polycythemia diagnosis. Any limits on any types of foods, beverages, additional vitamin supplements - etc? Any dietary items that may help with this? All comments appreciated. Carol in New Mexico

Dépendant on your meds - example Jakafi : NO grapefruit in any kind of form. And I’ve had to drastically limit wine (I only ever drunk 1-1.5 glass/day) as it aggravates my weakness for UTIs…

Hello, I'm taking Hydroxyurea and asked this question to the oncologist. Happily he said that there were no dietary restrictions and I can even have alcohol, in moderation. Looking on line, there is much mixed information, so I try to only look on only verified medical sites.
