I have been on tamoxifen for over 6 months trying to eat healthier, I eat pineapple regularly and have just read that it is a food to be avoided when on tamoxifen. Is that true?
Hi Beresford and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
As Lee has mentioned, grapefruit isn't recommended when taking Tamoxifen.
Unfortunately, the information we have about Tamoxifen doesn't mention anything about Pineapple but you're more than welcome to have a chat about this with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very well informed and will do all that they can to help.
Don't hesitate to discuss this with our cancer team as well.
I hope you're able to get some clarity on this soon and I'm wishing you all the best moving forward.
