Carcinoid cancer: Want to meet others

At a week out of surgery, I was not given any dietary restrictions, BUT I have placed myself on one for a little while. I eat more softer foods likes soups, peaches, rice and fresh fish when I can find it and the sort. Been wondering about other fruits and veggies. I will add mushrooms and items like that this week. To be honest, a lil scared about what the wrong foods for me will be like. I did learn that the bottom part of my colon, from my appendix area going up to about 12 inches or so was removed and parts of the area where the small intestine came into the larger was resected. So, I am still in the learning phase.

You are learning a lot about your new digestive tract landscape, @dchance1. The soft foods you describe are a good starting point, and adding other foods in small amounts is a good plan. This is the best way to discover any "trigger foods" that may cause uncomfortable digestive symptoms.
