What Food Do You Miss Because Of Your ART Therapy?

I miss eating grapefruits. It was a nice treat to slice in half and use the special food to eat. Unfortunately they are contraindicated if you are on certain ART meds. Now I can only enjoy the smell.

I don't miss any foods however I have noticed that I have some foods that I don't like any longer or I have a sensitivity to smells. Have a wonderful evening ✨

I don't miss any foods. It has been 25 years 1 month and 23 days. I was originally on viramune, not sure if spelling, but ended up with a rash. I also remember many others over the years. I do not remember being told anything about food restrictions or many side effects. I don't eat like I use to. I don't have the appetite anymore. But I have been healthy and undetectable for years.

I don't miss any foods. That said, check with your treatment team as it depends on the medications you are on. The new mdeications have far less restrictions than the old ones did and far less side effects. Next month will be 26 years for me and everything has changed tremendously!
