Any diet restrictions with radiation? What were your side effects?

The eternal radiation treatment was tough on me. I am 50. made me extremely exhausted and a very upset bowel. I had to stay away from greasy foods, dairy, and most carbonated beverages. I found a simple tuna fish sandwich to actually be the best for not "going right through me". This really messes up the colon and bowel movements.

docoop, radiation was also tough on me. I got diarrhea very early, so early that the radiation technologist thought it was caused by something I ate but it was not. I'd be reluctant to receive radiation for prostate cancer again.

Sorry you had a rough go. I’m going to be starting treatment soon and am concerned about me having the issues you did. Thanks your bit of info helps.
