  • Chemo can cause loose stools so it makes sense to think about what you consume.That said l drank ginger beer,during my pre surgery chemo with no problems,post surgery chemo with a stoma was a little more challenging,but l moderated intake,never drinking by the can,small amounts from a larger bottle.It does not give you loose stools but can inject gas in amongst them is my take ,
