Can a latent tb pateint take mass gainer .? first in chest nd then glands in neck but nw treatment is over nd fit and fine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mass gainers: These dietary supplements do not generally contain anything that would affect your immune status. As long as the material you are ingesting does not have steroids you should be fine vis a vis the potential for reactivating tuberculosis.
