Help with no gas, empty bowel diet during RT.

@carlsbadguy The biggest factor in the diet is the portion size; you really have to LIMIT the amounts of ‘good’ fiber rich foods.
Radiation tx. is a balancing act between having enough “oomph” to have a bowel movement and not too much of it to have gas. I used Healthy Fiber (Amazon) 3X/day with lots of water to keep regular; it is non fermentable guar gum based.

@heavyphil thank you again, I found the product on Amazon. The directions state use 1 scoop a day? If you took 3 scoops a day, how much water were you drinking? I'll be replacing a fair bit of fiber following a strict FODMAP diet, but I don't want so much fiber that I get backed up. Good that it's non fermentable, as it shouldn't bring any gas into the equation. I'm 6 ft and 190 lbs if it makes a difference.
