Rectal Radiation and Nutrition: Anyone have plant-based diet advice?

Thank you for asking! It’s more than just trouble eating…pain etc but I’m hopeful I’ll come out of this again too at some point. Not sure why it’s taking forever for my body to heal down there 🤷♀️
but I’m sure radiation has most to do with it. Since last Sept. 30th I did drop 35 lbs and although that doesn’t put me underweight yet, it’s closer to doing so. I’m trying to eat well despite what it does to me multiple times a day. Prayers it goes back to “normal” soon. Thank you!

I hope that you continue to post and share with me how you are progressing, @amariewilkinson. This sounds like a difficult journey. Please know that you are not alone. I've had several surgeries of the upper digestive tract and I do understand the difficulties that come with eating afterwards.
