Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
If your mother has got part of stomach and large bowel removed due to surgery then the stomach volume is reduced and digesting capacity is less. For this she should take small meals every 3 to 4 hours and avoid large meals.
She can take fruits, salads, snacks and foods in small amount and this should be given frequently. She should not do fasting. For liquids she might take smaller amounts at a time and this will be tolerated. Spicy food must be avoided for her and she can take digestive enzymes. Please do not worry.
