Hello wise ones,

I'm looking for some advice - not necessarily 'medical' advice, but your own lived experience if anyone has it.  

I've undergone both colon (3/4 of colon removed) and liver surgery (70% of liver removed) and 9mths chemo. Last chemo May and last surgery June.

I am having great difficulty in balancing 'bathroom' visits.  There is no real pattern at all in relation to food in respect of triggers. I can't eat at all if I wish to leave the house.

I am considering taking a daily dose of my loperamide as a standard thing to try to get a 'routine' and some stability I.e. less urgency.

I am trying to keep to a good post cancer diet, healthy, clean, no red meat, nothing processed etc. But it's not helping, my cholesterol is now high - due to liver being small now (?).

Any recommendations or advice would be welcome, does this sound familiar. My gp has referred me to a nutritionist but my appointment has not yet come through.

Thanks
