 So, My mum has been given Fortisip black forrest version I thought it would help but today I am unsure yesterday she was eating almost normally and I was feeling thankful. The day before she had jelly and 3 pineapple pieces same time and was A.O.k

However, today after jelly and fortisip she had the stomache issues with needing to go to the toilet 3 times. --will spare you the details!

--I do make sure everything I give her is Organic according to the thinkpink menu. I am worried that too much sweet stuff causes more harm than good.

I gave her peppermint tea to try to ease the stomache. I don't know what to buy that would be safe to use if her stomache gets upset as I don't want to interfere with lotrozole.femara 

Thanks for you help

    Ginger tea helps me. Maybe try that!

    Got some ginger tea , eased her stomache boiled it for 10 minutes on stove worked great for nausea. Got some ginger tea bags organic too thanks for the tip and she likes it!

    found a drink called Stomache Ease by Yogi Tea's too--

    Diarrhoea we have been told to dilute the fortisip start her on a little in juice as it is very concentrated in the first place.

    I have also asked for the juice version and we have one here called FortiJuce (bad spelling but it's the name for it--don't ask rolls eyes lol) well shes getting a starter pack so fingers & toes crossed) thanks
