I've googled and read other blogs to get gen on how to deal with the stoma and chemo. Food and drink can be tricky so I've pooled tips and added my own in a 'Di's Special Stoma Diet: Heroes and Villains'. Since I first went into hospital in October my food intake has been fiercely anti vegan - chicken, steak, cheese; double, soured and whipped cream (and cream cakes). Managing the stoma has made my diet even more like the food from Abigail's Party as I've been guzzling gelatine - pork, lamb and bovine. Not just in pork pies but in Haribo Sours, Jelly Babies, Marshmallows, tea cakes and jellies. I had a vague memory that Wagon Wheels contained gelatine but we've been unable to source them in Coop or Tesco. My online search confirmed that Burtons do still make them in their Welsh factory. It also suggested that they are impossible to flush down the toilet (not sure that bodes well for the bag). Check out your favourite biscuit:

Marshmallows are high in gelatine - so get toasting! Hope the Roman Candle is under control now.
ReplyDeleteBruce and I are off Blackpool on Friday to dance in a competition at the unhealthy hour of 9:40 on Saturday morning. Perhaps you could keep your fingers crossed for us!
