High Fibre Diet Cancer Sufferer Posted: 03-19-04 20:02pm
Could someone help me please with adding
fibre to my diet. Since I developed
throat cancer 5 years ago I have to blend
everytng. Fine. But this gives me a lot
of flatulence. Embarassingly so
sometimes. (female, market researcher,
55)
i unfortunately can't eat any7 salady
things. I blend broccoli and cabbage etc.
But feel a lot is missing in my diet
which my stomach is crying out for.
Any help wwelcome. Thank you. Ishbel

You can buy selium from a health food
store (maybe even regular grocery stores)
it is very high in fibre but is not that
much courser than say flour (it's hard to
describe) & can be mixed with water,
orange juice, any foods, or soups etc
& drunk, eaten & it, well I guess
it sweels in your stomache & becomes
fibre.
If you have trouble finding it let me know
& i'll see if it might be called
something else there.
You might also check throat cancer forums
elsewhere which discuss recipes etc like
the scd forums(irritable bowel
syndrome)sites etc for recipes that you
may be able to eat which would extend your
variety & also ask them if they've had
a problem with flatulence & what if
anything has worked for them.
Also I would ask every health food person
etc that I came across, whether they had
any suggestions - but - before you buy
anything check it out on the net to see if
what you've been told seems to be
supported rather than wasting tonnes of
$$$$.
