Well as the title suggests.
I have recently had my colon removed(feb) temporary stoma formed(Ozzie).
2 weeks post op started having problems with swallowing. Originally told it was oral thrush. Had 2 months of treatments for that to no effect.
It did eventually right itself bbut not that i could eat everything. Dry foods even with water was difficult.
May 9th ggot re hospitalized for rectal stump flare and also unable to swallow again. Have now lost half a stone in weight.
Also then discovered I am lactose intollerant on top of it all.
I am living on fresubin drinks, soya milk/yogurts/desserts, lactofree milk, some crisps and very limited soup selection, which I have to puree.
It is getting more difficult to swallow even fluids some days and i am waiting for a barium swallow test.
They wont do an endoscopy as I am on warfarin.
I can't tolerate any fruit or veg, sweet potato is ok, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I can have.
I dont want to go back into hospital but don't want to lose any more weight this way. Have already lost 2 1/2 stone since February.
Many thanks for reading and any advice/suggestions
