2. Foods high in saturated fat
Foods that are high in saturated fat include pork lamb high-fat dairy like butter and many processed snack foods. Research has found that eating a diet low in saturated fat may help improve treatment outcomes. Most doctors recommend you get your fats from healthier monounsaturated sources like olive and canola oil and that you try to eat more omega 3 fatty acids which are fats found in fish nuts and seeds and are good to include in your colon cancer diet.
3. Fried foods
Greasy fried foods and fast foods can aggravate symptoms of colon cancer and worsen side effects such as nausea vomiting and diarrhea associated with chemotherapy. These heavy fatty foods can be difficult to digest and may remain in your stomach for a long time increasing your risk for painful acid reflux as well.
4. Sugare
Carbonated fizzy drinks and sodas can worsen symptoms of nausea and gas. The extra sugars can contribute to obesity because these empty calories have little or no nutritional value and can lead to unwanted weight gain.
5. Caffeine
Caffeine can aggravate symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea. It can increase the production of acid in your stomach which may lead to acid reflux heartburn and difficulty swallowing. Also caffeine may worsen insomnia which can be a side effect of chemotherapy.
6. Alcohol
When you have colon cancer avoid drinking alcohol or drink it only rarely. Alcohol may interact with medicines you are taking such as pain medication and can contribute to dry mouth aggravate throat pain and cause difficulty swallowing. Drinking alcohol can also lead to acid reflux and heartburn.
7. Gluten
If you are suffering from hypothyroidism the reducing your intake of gluten may be beneficial, particularly if you are sensitive to gluten. This is because if gluten irritates your small intestine this can stop the absorption of any thyroid replacement medication you’ve been prescribed. If you are not on hypothyroidism medication however and choose to consume gluten, it’s always best to eat wholegrains which are high in fiber and help improve bowel function, as irregularity in that area can be a common symptom of hypothyroidism.
8. Excess Fiber foods
Getting enough fiber is good for you, but too much can complicate your hypothyroidism treatment. The government's Daily Guidelines for Americans currently recommends that adults up to age 50 should take in 25 to 38 grams of fiber a day. Amounts of dietary fiber from whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, and legumes that go above that level affect your digestive system and can interfere with absorption of thyroid hormone replacement drugs.
