Stomach Cancer - stage 3 - what to eat

Hello! 

My mum has been diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer and the tumor is at the bottom of the stomach making it tricky to digest food. she is on a low fibre diet but struggling to keep food down. towards the end of each day she feels incredibly bloated and then violently sick. 

Can anyone recomend any food or recipies to help?

Thanks

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    I am sorry to hear about your mum. She does need to let her GP and/or hospital team know about this. They can prescribe anti sickness medication, that will help. Some patients need a combination of medications. We have information on medicines used for managing sickness

    Your mum will also benefit from input from a community dietician (via GP), or a hospital dietician referral, (via hospital team). We have information on tips for diet problems

    The UK charity Macmillan Cancer Support have information on nutritional-supplements Some of these, such as fortified juices and shakes can be prescribed by her GP or a dietician.

    They also have information on a building up diet

    I hope that this helps,

    Kind regards,

    Vanda
