I have posted this previously: The perfect radiation diet is a double whopper w/ cheese and fries. Hold the pickle, lettuce and tomato. 3 meals daily.
And call your cardiologist🤭

More seriously though, I modified my otherwise very high fiber diet, which keeps me very regular (Amtrak should run with my regularity) and gave me the "mostly empty rectum". And I reduced, but did not eliminate, the fiber and most gas producing foods (limited brocolli and bye-bye black beans).

And did not get booted from the table (fortunately)✌️

Also took a GasX at night after eating. That might be my best suggestion.

Good luck. And apologies for my attempts at humor.

@michaelcharles By "radiation diet," did you mean "diet from beginning to end of radiation treatment"? Before giving me my Orgovyx (ADT) prescription, two weeks prior to start of my SBRT radiation, the pharmacist prescribed me a diet (foods to avoid). Near the end of my 5-fraction treatment, I asked my oncologist how long I need to follow the diet. I was told as long as I'm in Orgovyx; we'll if can stop AT after 8 or 12 months. Is this diet too restrictive compared to other pharmacists and radiation oncologists recommend?
