Low residue diet, has anyone done this?

[dee61]

Had op to remove everything including cancer but had complications such as bleeding a lot so chemo was postponed. Clear cell 1b grade 3. Now they recommend the diet as I have bowel probs so has anyone tried it, and I am a Coeliac so that involves another diet.

Hi Winner I have been on a low residue diet for 3years as I got radiation enteritis after treatment. I stick to chicken and don't have veg apart from soft carrots. No fruit with skins on and no salad which I really miss. Over the last year I have been a bit more daring and eaten a few things like red meat and so far so good. When it first happened I was very poorly but now I usually end up in hospital only once or twice a year.

Thanks Lucy, I seem to have lot's of adhesions and scar tissue from my first op total hysterectomy. Then 10 days later I had to have a laparotomy to cut a hole through the hard adhesions for my bowel to work. Now after numerous scans and tests but no chemo yet and a tum looking very pregnant they still cannot find the obstruction. They say that my tumour clear cell has a tendency to send out seeds but while I have a little bleeding on and off they cannot give me chemo.
