Chemotherapy & Radiation therapy induced diarrhea leads to
dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, if not treated early can
become life threatening if not managed as soon as possible.

Recommendations:

* SKIN CARE -

ciean rectal area with mild soap & water after every bowel
movement, rinse well, pat dry with a soft towel, apply moisture barrier
ointment, Vaseline, Desitin, Boudreaux's Butt Paste, or like ointment for
skin protection (ifNOT receiving radiation treatments),
use sitz bath for comfort.

* DIET- have 5-6 small frequent meals, try the BRATT diet: (bananas, rice,
applesauce, toast, tea), as dia~hea lessons slowly add more bland, low-fiber
foods: (boiled white rice, cheese, boiled skinless chicken or turkey, skinless
potatoes). Increase additional fluids by at least 8-10 (8oz.) daily (above the
l-2liters/24hrs. you should already be doing), room. temperature: (Gatorade,
Pedia-lyte, watered down juices, decaffeinated beverages, water).
Please call with any questions (802-847-8400) 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
