Hello Dear,
Avoid all uncooked vegetables and most uncooked fruits. You may eat fruit that you can peel a thick skin off of, such as a banana or an orange. Cooked vegetables and canned fruits and juices are safe to eat.
Avoid raw or rare meat and fish and uncooked or underco0ted eggs. Cook meat until it's well-done. Thoroughly cook eggs (no runny yolks).
Avoid salad bars and deli counters. Buy vacuum-packed lunch meats instead of freshly sliced meats.
Consume only pasteurized milk, yogurt, cheese and other dairy products.
Avoid soft mold-ripened and blue-veined cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola and Bleu.
Avoid well water or boil it for one minute before drinking. At home, it's okay to drink tap water or bottled water.
I sincerely suggest you visit with a Dietitian to get a complete and individualized meal plan for this condition. Wishing you luck, Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN,Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Board Certified
