Hi,
My mother has been diagnosed with bowel cancer, and has had a bowel stent fitted, due to the colon cancer diagnosis she was told to stick to a low fibre diet to both help prevent blockage and also to prevent the stent from being affected
All the hospital staff have been so good with everything, however I feel the only issue we are constantly having trouble with is, is when it comes to knowing what foods to eat, it seems like no one is really able to help us with this and we are worried especially when it comes to knowing if she is getting enough vitamins etc in the diet, most of what she can eat is all white and not allowed any wholegrains, fruit and veg is very limited and she is vegetarian other than fish
A lot of the sites I've looked up are not applicable to her as they say she can eat quorn or soya but she's been given a piece of paper saying not to eat that
Whilst we have been given contact numbers etc no one we have asked has really been able to answer our question and we don't seem to be any the wiser even from the people that inserted the stent,
Any help would be so greatly appreciated,
Thanks so much in advance
