Can i have a glass of wine, while on therapy with rituximab? should i be carefull of something in my diet? can i be on a diet for weight loss?

Ok: Rituximab is not chemo; it is a monoclonal antibody and based on that alone a glass of wine is not contraindicated. Check with your doctor to see if wine is not an issue for your underlying disease. Eat all four food groups.
