Hi Wendy,
Here is a link about how probiotics can help patients with neutropenia:

I drink two kinds of probiotics every day to keep undisirable infectious agents away from my stomac
. They taste very good. The first one contains Lactobacillus casei F19, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis. The second one contains Lactobacillus plantarum 299v.
I have not had any infections since I had neutropenic fever (neutrophils 0.1) Sept 2007 but I take 2 Neupogen injections/week and I avoid everything that can give me infections like people, that may be ill, food that isn´t recently boiled and air, that can contain fungi from dust, flowers, animals and so on.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
