  • Hello,

    The general advice would be to slowly reintroduce one specific food back in to your diet at a time, eg porridge, in small amounts first and then increasing. You can slowly introduce other foods back in, such as wholemeal bread, and do this slowly over several weeks or longer. You may have to adjust as your bowel allows.

    As nurses, we can't give you specific dietetic advice.

    The World Cancer Research Fund offer a cancer and nutrition-helpline staffed by dieticians who can advise you.

    I hope that this helps,

    Best wishes,
