Can kidney transplant patient drink green tea?

IMPORTANT! ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY HEALTH RELATED DECISION. I personally have been a green tea drinker all my life till I had a kidney transplant. My transplant doctor explained the following reasons why patients with an organ transplant should not drink Green Tea. 1. One reason why a transplant recepient takes transplant drugs is to suppress their immune (lower their white cell count) to prevent organ rejection. Green Tea raises one's immune system which may be good for a normal person but not a transplant recepient. 2. Also, the transplant drugs have chemicals that help the body to accept the new organ. Green Tea basically detoxify ( removes the potent of the transplant drugs) which may be good again for a normal person but dangerous for a transplant recepient. The Green Tea flushes the transplant drugs out of the system which suppose to always stay at a constant level (That is why taking your transplant meds at the right time is very crucial for the survival of the transplanted organ). To sum it up, if you are a transplant recepient don't drink GREEN TEA. However, ask your doctor because everyone has different circumstances. And remember to protect and cherish that life saving organ which had been given unselfishly out of love.
