Does anyone do that? Please reply...

Mine just has soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerine and corn oil as additives.  I've not heard that any of these can interact with TKIs.  I've been taking these for years and I'm doing fine.

Hey Snowman

It sounds to me you’re having a case of OCD. Do you have a history of this? I can also have OCD traits at times and it is normally brought on by extended periods of stress and anxiety.

Please forgive if that was rude in anyway and not my intention but it seems you do scan every ingredient.

As far as I recall you’ve had a great response to TKI so whatever you have been having or doing hasn’t had any impact on CML or your TKI.

But in answer to your question if I do it too the answer is no I only do what the literature states that’s avoid grapefruit.

I think personally with all that we consume in life i am sure there are interactions in the body all the time some good some bad and it’s impossible for drug manufacturers and food suppliers to have every single possible combination and cause and effect.

Cognitive behavioural therapy or just therapy is good for these kinds of anxiety’s. I practice mindfulness when life gets hard.

I hope you overcome your phobia

Hi 

re - supplements.  I do weight training/resistance training. It’s always been part of my life style before and after CML. 

I have had the conversation a few times with my CML consultant about supplements ( it’s a big thing in the body building world ). 

Generally - I take a VIT D , multi vit, and a protein drink. So far this as done me no harm. I always check labels and if in doubt just ask your DR. 

Philip Collins. - cml since 2015.  PCR.  0.006 and stable. Imatinib 400 mg per day.
