I need some advice. I've just finished my 2nd week of radiotherapy and chemo, 4 more to go and the diarrhoea has hit. Any tips on what foods to eat that help. I don't think the old tip of eating eggs to bind you will help this time. Thankyou.
Dear Emzy - totally sympathise! Suffer myself depending what stage of chemo/month I'm in. What works for me - eggs (hard boiled) with dry toasted bread. I had to stop eating all fat and sugar. No cheese or margerine or spreads at all.
I make myself packet soups, add a few vegetables & a couple of chopped up tiny potatoes and a few bits of pasta. Dry crackers. Sorry none of it is very appetising but found it worked for me and then I can gradually resume a 'normal' diet til it starts again - usually 1 week constipation 3 weeks diarrhoea. Lovely! Good luck X.
