Gastrointestinal Cancer

Making informed food choices will aid the immune system in its fight against cancer. It is critical to consume food that contains enough calories (to maintain your weight), protein (to help rebuild), nutrients like vitamins and minerals, and water (necessary for your body's functioning).

Many people lose weight as a result of cancer-related side symptoms such as nausea, taste changes, and loss of appetite, as well as a catabolic state. Other people may gain weight as a result of drugs, limited activity, or emotional stress. The appropriate dietary plan is determined by the type of cancer as well as the treatment. Consult your health care provider to help you determine your nutrition goals and devise strategies to help you achieve them.
