Pamegranate

[Hazel30]

Hello Doctor,  Im curious to know if  drinking pure pomegranate juice be beneficial for someone on chemotheropy.  
How much of it a day and does it produce constipation.  My Mom is such a strong believer in pomegranate and I dont want her to drink anything that may not be best for her right now since she's begun treatment again Friday.

Also is there anything you can recommend beside drinking ots of water that may help her maintain good blood counts and strong immune?  Such as supplements and food?

Thank you so much
Fiana

Hi There,
I have to confess, I really do not know much about pomegranate juice. I did Google it and I suggest you do as well. There are alot of claims about its helpfulness with constipation.
Hydration is important to help flush the chemo metabolites out of your system. That helps you feel stronger and helps prevent nausea
best wishes
