Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Hi Everyone, A friend's sister had very extensive replacement surgery to her esphagus. It fact it was rebuit from her stomach. She had years and years of acid reflux, despite taking drugs to control the problem. Definetly a digestive disaster at work. The drugs obviously didin't work. This does not surprise me at all. Now the thing I am wondering about is the diet the doctor put her on FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR. She can have nothing but cooked vegetables. No dairy and no meats at all. Over the last six months she has lost 30 pounds. She feels very weak. That is not surprising, is it? Anyway I just wondered if anyone had ever heard of such a case. What could she eat to help her regain her strengh. I figured raw eggs should be okay, if she is not allergic to them. A whole year on nothing but cooked vegetables sounds like a bad idea. She of course hates the diet and is facing 6 more months of it. Has anyone any suggestions? Thanks, Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
