Great question, same question, currently in cheo radiation phase and struggling maintaining bowel consistency. The wrong food can spell disastrous results for sure.

@leeb123 Had the same side effect and MANY more. Have finished chemo and radio. At this stage I'm mostly concerned about weight gain and building muscle and relief from the other side effects I still have. I want to see if I can do anything about my bloodwork results, for example: low red blood cell count, hematocrit, low potassium, creatinine, lymph absolute, alkaline phosphatase, etc., etc.
It was very hard to get enough nutrition during treatment, so find out as much as you can while you're sitting through a chemo treatment or vegging out on the sofa.
Let us know how your treatment is going and I hope everything goes well.

@leeb123 Also, "bowel inconsistency" will probably be with you for a while. My bowels are still wonky, but much improved over time. My chemo was roughly a year ago (3 months of it), then radio in the spring. So it's been a while. Trying to learn patience and just going with the flow, even when the flow is more like a tsunami. Best.
