Had surgery for colon cancer two months ago. Am on soft food diet. When can I progress to some roughage in diet?
Hi Stephen100. I think you should be ok to start introducing some roughage and see how it goes? If something has an adverse effect then leave it for now but it’s worth trying it again further down the line. There might be some good advice in this booklet
