Re: Side effects?
Sandra - thanks for the reply. I will definitely be trying your regimen. It will be easy for me - I love rice and baked potatoes and won't mind the canned fruit. I had already gone to the white bread but will forgo my morning banana for some canned peaches. I've been scared to eat anything especially if I have something planned outside the house. And I was very glad to hear that long term use of the lomotil and/or immodium didn't have lasting effects. I'm seeing the nurse practitioner at my onc's office tomorrow morning and will clear this with her but can't see any harm in trying it. At this point I'll gladly try anything - especially something that has worked well for a fellow HER2 sister. thanks again.
