Does anyone know about chemo side effects, as it relates to digestion. My friend is having chemo and she heard that the chemo kills the good bacetira in one's digestive systme... is this true and if so, waht can one do to restore them? Is there a special diet, post chemo?

Many thanks

Hi there,

I think I can help, my mom went through that...and to be honest the diet post chemo was anything that we could make her eat a lot. Yoghurt (source of good digestive bacteria) unfortunately was not in that list..so she took some probiotic tablets instead!

Not what you're looking for?
