Re: Fasting pre, during, post chemo
Jaykay, I too had mainly GI issues with my first round of chemo. From cracks in the corners of my mouth to liquid at the other end. One thing that was a little helpful was the my MO told me to use Lactaid or a similar product (preferably chewable) before eating milk products. I also take acidophilus.
My MO is anti-vitamin, so won't allow me to take anything other than Vitamin D, Calcium, Omega-3, acidolphilus & fiber, but if I were to add anything to that for the cracked tongue, cracked corners of mouth and mouth sores it would be B-vitamins. I'm in the middle of researching what foods would be best to help with that.
My hubby, who is a scientist, says the chemo is probably killing the e coli which is naturally occurring in the intestine -- but who would give me a supplement of that?!?! lol
