@mjp0512 You may want to start a food diary. I found that when I eat or consume a lot of dairy foods in a day, my fecal urgency gets a lot worse the following day. However, my gastroenterologist says, "Everybody is different!"

@ededed - I'm a cravings eater. My freezer might be full but if I want a T-Bone and don't have one, I'll get one. Same holds true for everything else. I can go weeks without the thought of cheese, ice cream, broccoli, etc., but when the urge hits, I go get it and eat it till it's gone. No change in bowels even if I decide that 1/2 gallon of ice cream is breakfast, lunch, and dinner or I steam up 5 lbs. of broccoli and do the same. I just live with it. No big deal anymore.
Prostate cancer, I've found, is a never-ending series of new normals. The sooner THAT realization hits, the sooner you get on with living. Do some of the new normals suck? Absolutely! I'd much rather pee on my own than self-catheterize 6 times a day but that's just not the new normal.
