You are truly the only person I’ve heard this from; everyone I’ve met - including yours truly - was put on a very strict diet of no fermentable fiber - beans, cruciferous veggies, whole grains, dried fruit, nuts….all the good stuff we’ve been told to eat for the last 50 years.
The changing room at Sloan always had at least one frustrated patient who was thrown off the table because of gas. I even had to give myself an enema one day because I drank Smooth Move Herbal tea and the tech claimed I had a huge gas bubble in my colon which I didn’t even feel.
But having no gas is key to avoiding radiation proctitis down the road.
