Kind of discouraging

Everything you posted is true.  However, my situation restricts what I can eat.  I have a history of partial intestinal blockages, one serious episode that put me in the hospital, thought to be due to adhesions from my radiation treatment.  If I consume some foods that have a high fiber content, such as whole grain breads, brown pasta or rice, or oatmeal, I run the risk of another blockage.  I cannot eat beef anymore and I will not eat any meat that contains nitrates/nitrites, such as bacon.  I do eat a lot of eggs and yogurt, however, and try to get a lot of protein through chicken and turkey.  Eating, for me, has become quite the challenge and downright scary at times.  My doctors all tell me I should be able to eat whatever I want.  I've tried that a few times and the results are never good.  What I miss eating the most is fruits and vegetables.  I can only eat them in small amounts and only if they are cooked--nothing raw.

Thanks again for the information.   

God bless you mp,

Cancer is so hard on us and makes us paranoid about everything. Rules are meant to be broken once in a while, just to feel human, right?

I have been eating very healthy for about 2 years now and a little more strickt since my diagnosis. I'm not craving sweets that much, but tasty food.

Chemo dulled my taste buds a little, so it takes a little more to feel satisfied. But it's all good.

Take care till next time,

Laz
