Hi everyone it’s been a while since I posted on here. I was wondering if anyone was having any problems with eating /appetite especially after chemo and also constipation. I’m really struggling to go. I’ve tried prune juice, green smoothies, suppositories, nothing at all helps any suggestions
Hi
sorry your having problems don't want to sound like teaching granny to suck eggs ( old saying ) I have a bowel problem pre existing being constipated is bad for me .. . I'm 5 days after firstEC I'm still going onEC a day but hard work 
. Normaly my meds keep me loose and about 4 times a day which I can manage . I don't like to take meds for constipation cos they have bad effect on me .
So I tend keep fluid up which has meant that I wallowing in water this week what with extra for chemo as well . Also slight massage on tummy small circular motion around colon path in tummy if that makes sense. Also walk after eating .
Hope this helps
Hi, while on EC yes I had problems, so I’ve looked at my diary I kept and I took ducosate 200mg twice a day from chemo day for a week. Tried senna but it gave me tummy pains. It’s useful writing down how you manage your symptoms so you remember what works. Good luck, sure your oncology unit will help you too.
