I had about a foot of my colon removed close to two years ago. The mass was not malignant so chemo/radiation were not required. I expected to have digestion issues for a while but am still having excessive, sometimes painful, gas (and sometimes diarrhea and very occasionally constipation) after eating many healthy foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame), legumes (beans, hummus, peanut butter), cheese, eggs, and spicy foods of all kinds. This eliminates the majority of what I have always eaten and prefer to eat. I've tried moving more toward cooked fruits and vegetables rather than raw which seems to help a bit, depending on which fruits or vegetables. I've experimented with probiotic supplements which made things worse. I've tried adding small amounts of probiotic foods such as kefir, kombucha, or probiotic sauerkraut daily while following an ayurvedic diet. The kefir seems to do fine, but the sauerkraut and kombucha sometimes irritate. The problem is especially uncomfortable at night when I am lying down (this is also after my main meal of the day usually). The only foods that seem to be consistently benign are oats, rice, salmon, roasted chicken, potatoes, cooked carrots, blueberries, mango, and homemade granola (made with oats, ground nuts, coconut oil, and a small amount of maple syrup). I'd like to know what other foods would be particularly easy to digest and how/when to reintroduce my favorite foods (fruits/vegetables of all varieties, nuts/seeds, possibly beans...) Thank you!
