You don't have to aviod eating fish indefintely. You can only have so many servings per week depending on the type of fish.

As far as foods: Nothing raw for the most part.

Ask your doctor. My doc gave me a list of stuff to avoid or decrease intake of. If you need it I can email it to you, just message me with your email address.

You can eat pretty much everything edible. I'd just avoid sushi and such.
