Hi Elizabeth,
So sorry to hear that you and your grandmom are having such a hard time. I am a caregiver for my dad who has survived esophageal cancer, and is now fighting liver cancer. The only suggestion I have is to have her eat smaller meals throughout the day. She may only be able to handle a few ounces at a time. Hope this helps, best of luck to you both. Let us know how she is making out.

Dumping Syndrome
From your comments it sounds like your Grandmother is having symptoms of the Dumping Syndrome. Where the body reacts adversely to the food she's eating which often results in nausea/vomiting and/or diarrhea. Sadly it is going to be mostly an experiment as to what she can handle or not.

For me I had major issues trying to eat Dairy and Sweets/sugary foods. I still won't go near grape juice as I had a major problem with it. The other hard part is that the reaction seems to change a few times as your body is acclimating to its new set up.

2.5 yrs out from my treatments I can eat dairy in small amounts where any amount used to cause me extreme discomfort. I still can't have chocolate. I can have regular sugar amounts, but substitutes cause me problems.

Another odd thing I've learned is that my body acts somewhat diabetic. Where if I take too much sugar in a short time frame a couple of hours later I will get extremely shaky and faint because my sugar level had spiked then dropped quickly.

As Tina mentioned eating small amounts until she determines what she can eat is key. I know early on I tried to eat more then was comfortable, but again it is all experimenting as we each react differently.

Hopefully this may give you some idea, I know not solutions but it's hard to have one for this situation.
