FRANK · Guest

I AM TRYING TO FIND A LIST ON ACCEPTABLE FOODS TO EAT AFTER COLON SURGERY. ANY HELP / PERSONAL EXPIEIENCE WILL BE A GREAT HELP. MY FRIEND IS TRYING TRIAL AND ERROR AND IT IS NOT GOING WELL.

After my anterior resection I went back to my normal vegetarian diet, lots of vegetables and fruit - BIG mistake!

I eventually found out that I should have laid off the fruit and veg and eaten more bulky foods like cereals and bread and pastas. Just a little fruit and veg as they upset the bowel too much.

I also don't eat as much in one go as I used to, little and often now.

I know everyone is different though.
