Jesper had some diarrhea recently but he's not on chemo at the moment. He takes probiotics and I think it's getting better. But I guess probiotics don't help when you're on chemo.
I hope the clear broth idea works! Sounds smart.
Hugs!

I just read your signature, I am so sorry you’re going through this. I really do hope we’ll find a cure soon!
Thanks for the tip on chia seeds, I never heard of that remedy before. Will certainly give it a go

Chia is great! The seeds actually absorb water and become like a gel as they move through your digestive system, helping regulate stool formation and potentially relieve both diarrhea and constipation. They’re also super calorie-dense too, so handy if you have trouble retaining/gaining weight. Just ease into them a bit as you don’t want to go too hard too fast... https://www.verywellhealth.com/can-chia ... on-1944829

Thank you! I’ll try to buy some soon. Does it taste awful? My husband is already a fussy eater before diagnosis and he’s even worse now :/
