Second primary colon cancer

Hi all,

I am new here, 81 years young and have had three cancer surgeries during the past 6 years.

November 28th will be the 2nd anniversary of having survived a second primary colon cancer diagnosis and subsequent subtotal colectomy.

I would like to connect with people who had the same experience and share how they dealt with the permanently loose bowels and how they adjusted their diets.

Dear Gerlinde, I've had to adjust my diet with constant diarrhoea , I've had a lot if success recently as I've changed to low histamine diet . There's a website . Histamineintoleranz.ch and even an app .. German Gebhardt . After trying everything this is really helping . Still have the off shocking night , like last night , but I have started having chicken bone broth and I think it was just too much fat for my system last night . I don't tend to eat after 3 and I had that at 5.30 so could be combination of the two .i also didn't have my usual watercress and pea shoots which really help in damping down the histamine . Try and see ?

Thanks, Pinksteph,

will try the website and see what it could do for me. I have been drinking a glass of water with a tsp of unsweetened Metamucil mixed into it before each meal, as well as being careful with the greens - as I am Vegan, also not eating any sugar, being careful with carbs. My bowels are still loose, somewhat regular, down to 2 to 3 a day, two years after surgery, depending on food intake.

Thanks again for your info!
