I am a pancreatic cancer survivor who had whipple surgery four years ago. Is there any information you can suggest for me? My gastroenterologist suggest the FOD MAP diet as a guideline. I just wondered if there was any diet suggest strictly for whipple surgery patients. Thank you
There are no strict diet guidelines in cancer patients. But in those undergoing chemotherapy, cooked food instead of preserved food is preferable. Preservation increases the risk of infections. You said surgery was done four years ago. Now no strict dietary measures are required, but it is advisable to take small frequent means. Also make sure to include more of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
