After having either diarrhoea or constipation, since having the colostomy and then the Radiotherapy, maybe it's time I started reading about things I should and shouldn't eat! For instance, breakfast, what the heck do I have now? Plus the fact I have seemed to have lost my appetite! Can anyone recommend a good book I should read?
Thank you,
Moira. Three
Hi Three
Although I don't have any personal experience with what to eat when you have a stoma I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I've found this information for you from Macmillan about stomas. You will see that they recommend the Colostomy Association and going to their website I've found this information for you about eating with a stoma.
I hope you find the information helpful and you manage to get yours under control
Thank you so much all your help, I'll certainly check that site out! There's very little information about eating with a stoma out there, it's sort of trial and error, unfortunately, with me, it's more error!
Take care,
