A member asked:
Can anyone tell me what food must be prevented after splenectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're okay: I'm sorry you needed to have your spleen removed. Whether for tumor staging, treatment of injury, or some other cause, you can eat what seems right to you. Sensible people avoid the very greasy, very sugary, and very salty stuff but this is about general health. I'm glad you're asking for good health advice, and hope you'll always stay proactive.
