EBRT Simulation: Failed two CT scans because of gas - suggestions?

This balancing act of following a low fiber nutritional plan such as FODMAP to eliminate gas while simultaneously trying to ensure that such a plan doesn't prove to be challenging with respect to bowel movements and a clean rectum is a daily struggle.

Totally! It was the absolute hardest part of the treatment for me. But when I started Orgovyx I knew I had 10 weeks to experiment and get my act together before the sessions began. It was trial and error and a lot of frustration and screaming on the toilet.
What finally worked for me was FODMAP, Miralax at 5AM and Healthy Fiber 3X per day with double the amount of water they recommend. Also GasX about 3 hrs before treatment and at night at bedtime.
Still didn’t work 100% but any gas I had was high up in the intestine and not in the rectum. And on those 3 or 4 days out of 25 that a BM just wasn’t gonna happen I used a glycerin suppository or a Fleet enema. Gotta do what you gotta do!
