Hi guys I think I've read somewhere that gas can be a problem during rt ,I start mine in a couple of weeks and I am.always gassy is there anything I can do to fix this and is this correct. Thanks
Hi Mace , broadly speaking gas is not going to help with RT. I am sure others will be along soon, but avoid onions, cabbage, fizzy drinks etc. I would try changing your diet now to see what is causing excess wind. Good luck with the RT. David
Best wishes, David
Please remember that I am not medically trained and the above are my personal views.
I was told to cut down on fibre, white bread rather than wholemeal or seeded bread , broccoli, cabbage sprouts, anything that can cause wind. Avoid spicy food and caffeine if you can. They will probably give you a diet sheet which they gave to me in my second week. Don't suffer in silence if you're struggling with your bowel or bladder don't be afraid or embarrassed to say anything. They are there to guide you through your treatment. If they are concerned about wind they will help you as the radiographers can see it on the scan when you have your treatment session.
