John ate raw vegetable when he was neutropenic. But I did wash them in vinegar first. Be sure to wash things you have to peel too. Some combine vinegar and hydrogen peroxide as a wash.
The best defense for the digestive track is to have adequate stomach acids. If you are on anything that reduces the acid, then you are more vulnerable to invading bacteria. A good probiotic is a good idea also.
I'd stay away from packaged luncheon meats (listeria bacteria) and do not use a microwave to reheat anything because it does not heat evenly.
