Alternative stuff

Hi Stomagirl, not really an alternative therapy but I have occasional green tea and have been adding a spoonful of turkey tail to my blackberry and spinach smoothies!!! Xx

Hi star74 

do u think it’s helping? I’ve heard of turkey tail and thought about smoothies, I’ve got a stoma, wt a surprise lol , so usually try things slowly, but definitely look into turkey’s tail 

thanks

I get the turkey tail from Antioxi, recommended by someone on bowel cancer UK.  There's a lot of stuff online about the benefits to fight cancer and aid chemo.  Not sure if it's helping but it makes me feel like I'm doing something!

I've got a nutribullet which I've used every day since buying it about 3 years ago. So quick and easy, can even chuck in frozen fruit like blueberries and frozen spinach.  Might not be ideal with a stoma although there must be some stoma friendly smoothie recipes. x

Thanks star74 I’ll look into it , like you say you feel like you are doing something! I’ll also look into smoothies and speak to stoma nurse , I know capecitabine can’t be taken with navel orange and pineapple?? But there’s plenty of other fruits etc 

Thank you for helping
