Suggest Diet Plans For A Person With Bowel Cancer

Hello In 2007 I had a complete colectomy with illio rectal anistomosis due to bowel cancer from genetic mismatch repair gene (Muir Torre) . In 2009 I needed a whipple procedure as cancer had mastisized in my duodenum. I am well most days but suffer setbacks and diet is still an issue. Do you have a recommended diet for someone in my position, that will cause the least amount of reaction. I know sugar is not good and most dairy and grains are also a problem. I just want to be fit. I am active but get stopped by sudden urges to go to the toilet at any time. Little warning and not a lot of storage space. I do take immodium when needed but I would rather control this with diet. I am on acimax each morning as advised when I left the hospital. Can you recommend foods which would be helpful to me. I also take psyllium each morning and rujevenix. I use psyllium through the day as well. If you know of a diet that will work for me I would appreciate your help. Thank you so much. R.

What is your weight , BMI and activity level? I think you are doing fine. Imodium and Fiber adds bulk to your stool but if you eat lot of salad and fresh fruit , then it will also benefit you. Whole grains like oats , and less milk products except curd.
