Since summer is now upon us here in Ontario, one of my favorite foods has always been corn on the cob. I have had my colostomy not quite a year. Because I had surgery, then was on chemo for 6 months, and now radiation, I am testing the waters with food as I still can't figure out how long it takes things to digest and am currently curious about corn and salads. I have heard so much mixed information (I know it depends on the individual) on what we can eat. I also know the treatments are also affecting output and cramps, etc. I was just curious if anyone had had any luck with corn on the cob, garden salads, and quinoa or couscous (those were some of my staple supper's side dishes prior to this).
