I'm a stage IIIc ovarian cancer patient opererated on in February 2002. I am currently undergoing chemo for the past 18 months... I develop large amounts of ascites and have been tapped 5 times. I have tried many alternative diets, but constantly have nausea with vomitting and severe gas pains, I am looking for someone with similar symptoms who can give me some advice. I am losing weight quickly and need to be able to keep down a steady diet and hydration. Any information is much appreciate, please email me at foamme@optonline.net or reply to this post. thank you.

Hi ellen,
I hope you've discussed the nausea with your doctors. Have they suggested any anti-nausea agents for you to use?
The gas pains could well be a result of a hysterectomy, but having a less gas-producing diet could help lessen them.
Have you looked at this site for diet suggestions? It's terribly important to maintain a good eating regimine to help you regain your health.0 -
hi ellen,
I was diagnosis with ovca august '03 and finish my chemo in january 04. For an upset belly I would drink ginger/lemon tea. It would calm by belly down within minutes. Or you could try eating fresh ginger. Also, plain yogurt helps my digestion big time. I now have yogurt first thing in the morning. Try and buy the best brand yogurt that is also fat free. Also parsley works wonders on the digestion. all the best, j0
