Thread: Is there a doctor in the house?

The day for my radioactive therapy draws near. Two weeks to go. And only now (Good Friday, the day they hung that ragged killjoy on the cross ), with a five-day public holiday upon us, and so with no one in real life to ask, do I find that for those two weeks I am to cut from my diet as much iodine as possible.

The internet is useless.

Medicine on the net is more Art than Science (it’s also like that in real life, unfortunately). According to what I’ve found by browsing, I can’t eat bread, or milk, or cheese, or eggs, or chocolate, or beans, or potato skins, or soy products, or rhubarb, or cereals, or instant coffee, or any processed food containing salt in case it’s iodised salt.

I’ll be just a shadow by the time I get to hospital.

Veggies?

Ox, I hope everything goes well.

Radioactive therapy..... that sounds weird no matter how I say it. Right, professor Ox?

If you had to restrict your diet for two weeks in this way it would be trying. Lucky the holiday is over in five days and you can consult on what you are allowed then. When I first got treated for osteoporosis they gave me diet sheets with lists of calcium rich foods, I am surprised they have not given you something similar, you may find it was a simple omission when you ask.

From what I know, just skip on the red meats, processed food (including the instant, no-cook, ready-to-eat ones) and the seafoods for a while until the holiday ends. The rest you can safely eat at moderation. After the holidays, you can then ask which foods are allowed and which aren't.

I completely forgot we DO have a doctor in da house!Its is the fearless and ruthless Fuhrer of the fourth riche ( namely writing disscussion ).

"Gott im Himmel! Iss mixing der Nouveau Riche mit der Third Reich."

"Jawohl, Mein Fϋhrer." Clicks heels.

@ Custard: Nah. I'm not a doctor, or at least not yet.
