I used these guidelines for 30 sessions of IMRT last fall. Didn't miss a session.

Only other thing I did was not eat anything past 6PM and only a slice of dry toast to take meds with before treatment. Good luck! 👍

@mjp0512 thank you, great to have the VA's recommendations and I printed out all 5 pages. I will cross reference this with @heavyphil's suggestion of a low FODMAP diet and hopefully come up with a diet that will work. We usually eat dinner at 6pm, and don't snack afterwards. I can handle a slice of sourdough dry toast with morning meds and the required amount of water to fill my bladder until my treatment time, I'm guessing this would work for me pretty well.
