Anyone take probiotics DURING pelvic radiation?

I did not use probiotics and/or prebiotics during my 28 proton radiation treatments.

But, the key to minimizing radiation-induced intestinal, bladder, and rectal issues is for them not to overshoot your prostate and hit nearby otherwise healthy tissues and organs.

(As for diet, I did just the opposite - I not only increased fish and fruits, but also increased salads, vegetables, and grains/nuts.)

@brianjarvis I don't know if I can keep to my regular diet (I would like to) with photon radiation.
Fingers crossed no overshooting - lol
