I am undergoing chemo for a stage IV colon cancer and I am wondering if anybody has any suggestions for relieving or better yet preventing it from happening. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat, sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Lomack I was stage three (6 pos nodes) had a lot of trouble with bowel upsets. Only relief I got,and it was excellent,was from a product called Donnatabs,an irritable bowel prep. I,m in Australia .Don't know if they are available worldwide.Active ingrediants are hyoscyamine sulfate ,atropine sulfate and hyoscine hydrobromide. Worth a try, Good Luck,keep hanging in,Ron.
