What to Eat After a Colectomy? |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: What type of diet should i be on after having a colectomy done? Dear Julia: Your diet should not change after a cloectomy. You still require a balanced diet with the correct proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Depending on the type of colectomy you had you may find that you have an icreased frequency of stool, however, this will reduce as your body adjust to the loss of your colon. You may also need to limit your intake of high fiber foods for some time until your body has fully adjusted to the procedure. |
