I am writing to ask if anyone has experienced GI symptoms (bloating, cramping, nausea, and some lower back pain) months after chemotherapy. I am 9 weeks post finishing chemo for breast CA and just trying to return to a "normal" diet and lifestyle. I did have some discomfort when i started to reintroduce salads and fresh fruits/vegi's, but I'm not sure if this is a new sensitivity because of chemo or just a new food intolerance.
Would love some advice!
Thank you,
Kirsten

I agree you definitely need to check this with your Dr. Just wondering if you take Tamoxifen as I found it gave me GI problems like you describe (although not the back pain).
I got very worried about my symptoms and my Onc sent me for an endoscopy but it turned out to be gastritis with small ulcers. I switched to an AI and eventually it all healed.
