I was thrilled to find this group. My mother had colon cancer in 2000 and the prognosis was not good. She is alive 25 years later but has suffered from terrible repeat bowel blockages that have gotten worse and worse. She had a surgery for adhesions in 2023 and it helped somewhat. We have had conflicting dietary advice throughout the years and the regime has gotten increasingly complex (too complex for an 85 year old to manage) so she has been in an out of hospital since the summer. Finally someone looked at her scans and noticed the blockages were always at the same site (where here colon was reattached) and that her colon leading up to that site was so stretched and enlarged. She is having a colonoscopy today and hopefully they can stretch the scar tissue. While we are so grateful she survived beyond the initial prognosis, the time since then has been marked by worry, middle of the night trips to the hospital, and many many many family conversations about diet, etc. Also, she is at the point where she needs to go into a senior’s facility and they don’t cater to low fibre diets. Is there anyone who is an expert in managing a low residue diet to help us with all the conflicting lists and advice out there? (Although i am so hopeful that today’s colonoscopy will make this request redundant).
