Looking for tips on managing Radiation-induced proctitis

The Radiation Oncologist seem not to want to discuss any side effects from the radiation. I had 39 treatments and I am and have been sick since the beginning. Bloating, no appetite to speak of, stomach pain, stomach ache, and terrible amount of gas which nothing helps. I have a tremendous amount of mucus discharge and some bleeding. My Urologist is now on the same boat as I am and is saying there is no doubt you have radiation proctitis or Eneritis! I’m tired and tired of being sick

The doctors installed SPACE Oars that’s a jelly that protects the rectum. Had 28 RT treatments. No rectal problems or other abdominal issues. Take care. I m feeling ok, just tired a lot in the afternoon. Take Prevacid in the am before breakfast daily. Hope this helps. Bruce
