@jime51 The best advise I got was to keep a food diary. I found that my radiation proctitis symptoms of pain and bleeding are triggered by palm oil, palm kernel, cured meats (bacon, ham, corned beef etc). More than 1/2 a cup of coffee or too much dairy in my diet increases urgency.

@ededed Thank you! Gosh, I hope I don't have to restrict severely my daily coffee habit. The rest you mentioned aren't currently issues for me. I wrote my GI about Mesalamine, which my insurance covers. They didn't pay for the Sucralfate enemas.
