In case you missed my latest post you can find ino here about Diarrhoea during Chemotherapy here.

My best advice during your chemotherapy treatment is let your doctor or nurse know if you experience consitpatin, keep in mind your medicine may be changed or another meidcation given to relive the constipation.

  At first diarrhoea can be treated with medication at home. If the diarrhoe is sever, it may cause dehydration and you may need to be admitted to hospital.

If you have diarrhoea, it’s important to return to a balanced diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables and wholegrain bread and pasta afer the diarrhoea has cleared up.
