According to the dietary guidelines for proton therapy, I’m not able to eat any fruits or vegetables, and I’m concerned about meeting my nutritional needs. Would it be acceptable to use a protein powder supplement? I purchase powder from Costco. I’d appreciate any suggestions you can provide.

I use protein powder every day, and never noticed any gas from it at all. That is what they’re trying to stop. I don’t see where fruits are a problem and they say some vegetables can be a problem if eaten raw or cooked.

Seven weeks of radiation they never told me about any food requirements. Never had a problem with gas, Maybe one time out of the seven weeks my bladder wasn’t that the right level so I had to drink some water.
