Hello, had a RC about 2 weeks ago. I'm ok ecept for strong nausea and diarrhea, sometimes in the middle of the night. Any advice or recommendation.I am taking anti sickness medicibe so that I can eat something. I use to love eating and cooking, now I'm kind of afraid to eat amything... Thank you
Digestion & bowels can be upset for a while after RC, things will settle in time. Walking will help, try to do a little more each day (but don’t push yourself too fast). A couple of short walks is better than one long one, also pottering at home. Eat little and often, whatever you fancy, but concentrate on protein & carbs. Even a few spoonfuls every couple of hours, in between small meals. Maybe raising the head of the bed will help with nausea at night. Recovery may feel frustratingly slow, but it will come. Best wishes.
