ITP Caused By MMR Vaccine
A myITPcenter Subscriber
My daughter was diagnosed with ITP on March 31 caused by the MMR vaccine. This is all so new to us. I am looking for recipes, foods, vitamins, anything to increase her platelets naturally.

While it's understandable you want to help your daughter through diet, MMR vaccine-induced ITP typically resolves on its own within 6-12 weeks in most children. However, some dietary approaches that may support platelet health include:
Foods rich in:
1. Vitamin K (leafy greens)
2. Vitamin B12 (eggs, dairy)
3. Folate (beans, oranges)
4. Iron (lean meats)
Always consult your child's hematologist before starting any supplements, as some can interfere with medications or affect platelet function. Would you like me to provide more specific meal suggestions or information about vaccine-induced ITP?
