Hello
I developed immunotherapy colitis after nearly 2 years of smoothly running treatment. Has anyone had any advice on diet and this. When in hospital the dietician said this type wasn't really effected by diet. Its just the diarrhoea is back to being no.6 on my stool chart as my steroids have reduced to 65mg. They started at 85mg and are reducing by 5mg a week.

Hi , very interesting reading your post , I don’t know anything about diet .
my husband is on year 4 of immunotherapy with a gap of a year after year 1 . After reading your post I checked the symptom of colitis and it seems my husband may be suffering from it also - he is due to see oncologist on Monday for a check up . It’s always dangerous self diagnosing so will wait to see what the professional say .
did you have tests for your diagnosis ?
