Dear sadlesue

Your problem is common with what has happened to you. Fibrous foods are not well tolerated in your case. You could try some juicing which removes the fiber. But it will go through you quickly.

I would suggest you take liquid vitamins and minerals they have these are the health food store. You will absorb them better. I would also take a digestive enzyme with meals (Digestmore Ultra) is very potent and you need this strength. If you do eat the fruits of vegetables the enzyme will help at least digest some of the nutrients.  One of my favorite things for people who have had inflammation is something called Intestinew (powder). It is l glutamine and take it everyday  on an empty stomach. It will help the gut become stronger and help mucus lining stay strong.

Keep your chin up and if I can be of more help let me know

Sincerely

Brenda

I had a colectomy in 2003 due to colon cancer.  I now have an internal jouch.  I struggle with certain foods…most of which are healthy for me. Veges, fruits, nuts, mostly high fiber foods.  I love them but cannot tolerate eating them more than once in a while.  The worst result from eatin these items is horrible butt burn!!!!….ouch!!! I also worry I am not getting enough vitamins and minerals for proper body maintanence.  I also take vitamins but probably am not obsorbing those very well either.  Any suggestions of what I can do or add to help me????! Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
