@Jan Dollar that is fascinating. I have had only canned fruits or cantaloupe and no other fruit. And canned carrots or canned French cut string beans, with rice, or baked/mashed potatoes. No other veggies yet. I take Metamucil twice a day. Still have some gas and bloating. Finishing a course of Flagyl at the moment. And not to be gross but often my poops float (no oil or fat seen in toilet). Seems so odd. This is such a learning curve. Amazing how one night with a lower GI bleed and diagnosis of colorectal cancer and my entire world has changed. I’m grateful for the wary diagnosis and to be alive. But my Ostomy incision hurts still 4 months out from reversal. My bathroom schedule is unpredictable. It’s a lot to get used to. Oh, and I’m a doc, so that adds to the stress and anxiety.
