Tamarind interacts with TKIs?

Hi to everyone!!
The last two months when I make a sandwitch I put some barbeque sauce for flavor. Yesterday I saw the ingrediends and it contains tamarind... And guess what... My stress that maybe interacts with sprycel drives me crazy! Is there anyone can help?

I don't think so ,we are Indians and we put tamarind in lot of our dishes,you should be fine

Hey Snowman (very applicable for this time of year haha),

Yeah I wouldnt worry. From what I gather you had an amazing response to treatment. You can't go on scanning everything you eat and drink you'd end up a mental wreck. Just avoid the obvious ones like grapefruit.

When they mention avoid this and that I would imagine it means copius amounts. I dare say even the odd grapefruit wouldnt hurt (Dont quote me on that, I know Scuba carries on as normal and hes fine)

Thank you both for your replies!! I know I am overacting but sometimes my fear that I will do something wrong doesn't leave me to think clear...
I am really thankful to be in this forum! I have found help many times in the past! I wonder if I am the only one that has this kind of fear... Imagine that when i started treatment and all this was something completely unknown to me I hadn't had all these kind of thoughts.... It drives mad!!!

Understandable mate we all have our fears. This forum is a god send for sure.

All the best
