Question

iam 3 weeks post and having a hard time getting things down especially water i only drink n o more thank 20 oz but iam really trying still have diaherra ...........is there any harm in eating toasted bread only had half and i chewed and seemed to go down so is it okay to have bread

I don't see a problem with having a half piece of toast as long as u chewed it up very good. But dont you have a nutritionist or someone that u can call and talk to. You need to be drinking more than 20 ozs of water because if you still have diaherra then you can get dehydrated and u dont want that because then you'll have to go to the er and get an iv for that. Personally I think you should call your doctor or a nutrionist. Vanessa

Twenty oz of water is DEFINATELY not enough to sustain your bodily function, especially if you have diarrhea. You need to get on the phone with your surgeon immediately and let him/her know what is going on with you. Take care Carolyn
