Any advice on diet?

hannah check out low residue diet ..I have a leaflet my dietician via the hospital sent. check if your oncology team have a dietican ..mine call me every so often and check in and I found the low fibre diet really restrictive but the low residue one is ok..www.thh.nhs.uk/.../Low_Residue_Diet.pdf

this is one 'i found on the web but you can google others :)

I asked my husbands oncologist about the best diet for him to be on, he said a healthy balanced diet, nothing about low fibre. This advice may be because my husband has already had the primary bowel tumour removed though, I'm not sure. 

We eat a lot of fruit and veg as I'm vegetarian, and my husband has now totally cut out red and processed meat.

I would go with what your oncologist has advised. There's still plenty fruit and veg you can eat that aren't high in fibre (especially if cooked and peeled). Here's some info from CRUK https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/bowel-cancer/living-with/eating

Thanks that’s really helpful and makes sense x

Thanks Lornaliz - they are referring me to a dietician but I have heard nothing as yet so feel a bit at sea with it all. I don’t really eat much meat etc anyway but am craving all the things I love! Thanks for the leaflet xx
