After a kidney transplant you can drink whatever you want correct?

Except grapefruit juice and pomegranate juice right? Also alcohol should be limited.

I had my dad's kidney 13 years started in the 80's I did drink quite some alco, mainly cos hubby and me run a pub. The alco of course hammers the liver and so does Azathioprine which was pretty standard in those days. That was 1 of the main reasons to limit alco. I don't know which organs are mainly hammered (besides the kidney itself) with the immuno sups you are on, but that's googleable I'd think. I would check that. I'd keep alco and other mind altering things in moderation anyway as I understand the timing from the immuno sups is rather important. Starfruit-juice is also a no. I keep reading (in my 15 hrs D dia and kidney-research time about limiting, if not eliminating eating meat(juice?)

Keep drinking DGFOREVER

Lots of luck, love and strength, Cas

Thanks Cas! 

What is starfruit juice? Of course there's no problem drinking tea or coffee? I hear Green tea, Hibiscus tea, & Chamomile tea are all good for the kidneys?

I don't care for alcohol anyway and only drinking it rarely so I don't have to worry about that!

I drink only water, tea and coffee and occasionally a glass of wine. I have green tea or mint tea but I never cared for herbal teas much and I think some of those teas may be just fine but they may not. It's like the unregulated supplements in a different form and who's to say whether they're helping or hurting?

SooMK what's your creatinine at and how long have you had the kidney?

[SooMK]

My creatinine is about .97, sometimes a little over 1, and I just passed two years with my transplant.
