Bowel and digestive issues since chemo

Hi,

I am interested to see peoples answers to this as I continue to have digestive issues 14 weeks on from chemo. Are you taking estrogen blocking medications? I am, and I was wondering whether it was that that was to blame. I find rennies the best thing for heartburn and eating my last meal bo later than 6 helps prevent me getting it at bedtime. 

I continue to have digestive issues 2.5 years on, but I think it is the hormone blockers rather than lingering effects of chemo. Menopause interrupts your gut flora. I drink kefir daily, which helps to keep everything ticking over so that I don't feel too bad, and laxido prescription does the rest!

I have a gluten intolerance so gave up bread years ago. I do have the odd thing with wheat in it and I get a bloated tummy and feel a bit rubbish, and I can also feel sore. I avoid it as much as possible.

Hi your oncologist can prescribe Omaprazole for heartburn I still take occasionally and I was diagnosed early 2021.  The bowels take a good while to settle.  Best wishes 

Oh yes it could be the cancer drugs too - I’m full of aches n pains
