Oh I am so sorry to hear that your guts are acting up : (( - did it start just recently due to ADT drugs ? : ( Also, I see that you will have proton RT so perhaps there are differences there too, who knows. )
Mr. Surf is very regular in general with 2 to 3 BMs a day (same as me) because we eat Mediterranean diet from early childhood. Things that produce gas for us are known offenders - beans and cruciferous vegetables, but no bloating or anything even close. So, we will only eliminate them during RT to be on a safe side.
We will try to get appointment between 10 am and 1 pm and that will work really well for him. He will be driving about an hour in one direction if traffic cooperates , if not - it could easily take 2 . 😬 But he usually takes business calls on long rides so time flies faster.
"Lucky "- well he considers himself being lucky in many aspects 🥰 (and he is) , however having PC or anything connected with it can not be "lucky" lol BUT yes, it would definitely make things much easier during RT.
As you said in your previous post - every list on different websites will list somewhat different food items and it can be soooo confusing. So, it might be the best to stick with what works for you - you know your guts the best 👍.

@surftohealth88 thank you, but the Orgovyx doesn't seem to be causing any intestinal issues, 3 weeks in and only some hot flashes and fatigue. I don't think the fact that I'm having proton has anything to do with it, the photon radiologist I saw had the same terms, full bladder, empty bowel and no gas. As I said in my original post, due to severe diverticulitis, I had a partial colectomy in 2018, which removed about a foot of my colon. That's when most of my intestinal issues began. We eat a very clean, natural food diet, but that includes many fruits and vegetables that cause gas for me and some other complex carbs that do the same. The FODMAP diet should help eliminate those issues, we shall see.
