Honey and garlic-what are your thoughts?
Fellow transplant patients-Do you have a particular brand of honey that is known to be pasteurized? So many labels and websites are misleading - or is this simply an avoid at all costs. How about garlic? Is uncooked or undercooked garlic acceptable? I see that raw garlic stored in olive oil is a no. As I continue my new culinary skills post transplant, just trying to be sure and cautious...

I too am looking for this information.
What's wrong with raw garlic in olive oil? I have never seen that anywhere before
I had a liver transplant 3 years ago and have never heard that I can’t eat honey or garlic. I eat a fair amount of both. I plan to ask my team but my gut tells me both are ok.
I am not totally sure. I have just bought store bought honey which i thought yo be pasteurized. I do not by rsw honey or honey from people who have their own bees and harvest it. If unsure, I shoot my nurse coordinator a note a she'll reach out to infectious diseases, nutrition or pharmacy depending on question. I send slot on supplements and vitamins etc that transplant pharmacy will advise.
“Is it safe to put raw garlic in olive oil?
It is safe to submerge peeled garlic cloves in oil and store them in the freezer for several months. However, do not store garlic in oil at room temperature. Garlic-in-oil mixtures stored at room temperature provide perfect conditions for producing botulism.”
I think it is ok for a couple weeks…
