After transplant, is it okay to have things like fermented foods, or raw vinegar? Is it recommended to take a probiotic supplement? Thank you for all of your important information.

I'm a transplant kidney receiver. I've kidney failure for two times and thanks God, . ..I've been done for kidney transplant for two times too.
First , kidney transplant at 2004 , second at 2020.
When I was kidney failure at 2018, I've been diagnosed for poly neuropathy disease. I feel tingling from my toe up to my leg & my thigh and from my finger up to my arm.
Now I've been done kidney transplant but still have poly neuropathy disease. I feel tingling worse than before.
Please help if any idea to recover my poly neuropathy disease and tingling.

Waiting for your response.
