Hi I'm new to this. Got diagnosed in jan with bowel cancer. And had my surgery in feb I have now got a permanent stoma. I finished my chemotherapy in July. I am having alot of problems with constipation which started when I was on chemo but I'm still having problems are I can go other way and go to much I can't seem to get a balance I'm taking tablets to help with constipation my stoma nurse says it might be just how I am and I might always have to take something. Also I got told I can't eat nuts I just wondered as anyone had nuts and had any problems?xx

  • Hi thank you I will try some see how I go. My stoma nurse said I could eat anything apart from nuts. Yeh I've noticed that with sweetcorn also with peppers. Yeh I like to cook from scratch aswell x

  • Hi yeh I'm same think sometimes it's what I eat. But I was like that before the surgery has I had my gallbladder took out a few years ago and had problems ever since so I think I'm going to always be same it's just worse with having a stoma I hope yours settles down x
