My clinic was willing to make allowances for the grapefruit thing but I think it was a 'certain times, with levels checked' and then I'd have to eat grapefruit on a daily basis or something such as.. but I don't particularly like it so I never asked any further questions.
Tanning beds are a no-no. Since you're immune system is suppressed you're more susceptible to skin cancer, which is something they don't want. They even told me to put on sun screen when driving in the car! I pretty much ignore this one since I'm about as white as snow, I don't actively tan (keep meaning to lose the pasty cream puff look though) but I don't avoid the sun. I've been in a 'use common sense' mode since transplant..
