How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?
Digestive Health | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (70)Comment receiving replies
I'm now 2 years post resection of the small intestine due to NETs. I did have a dietician to start with, but I found that I could eat what I wanted most of the time. Smaller meals help. Easier to get bloated now. I have had an occasional GI flareup (maybe Carcinoma syndrome or Crisis) if you will, but I never have been able to connect it with anything in my diet. I've learned that recovery from surgery can take a good long time. Only now, after 2 years, do I have consistent 90% normal bowel movements! I have not changed my diet, but my body has finally got things sorted for now.

Okay, I like reading your comment about it taking two years for your bowel movements to become normal! I have never paid so much attention to this in my life, but have learned to, and wondered when things will be consistently normal, lol! Checking poops, all the time, just wanting to check that I’m absorbing nutrients (go by the color?). And sometimes have cramps, not fun. What causes these? Ok, thanks for any responses!
