hello doctor, my mother has linitis plastica and is waiting to start chemo, due to the narrowing of the  duodenum she finds it almost impossible to eat and has been on a liquid diet but has started to eat solids again as she is hungry, is this a good thing?
Hi, dear she has stomach cancer limits plastic. She should start chemotherapy according to her doctors' advice. She should be not solid food directly.  Furthermore, she should take liquid diet and semi-solid food initially.  If she tolerates semi-solid food then only later on solid food can start. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
