I'm due to start 20 chapters of RT next Wednesday 4th Feb. Any advice of what to eat in the two or three days leading up to the start, and then during treatment. I am confused between maintaining fibre and/or keeping to low fibre bland meals. Any suggestions gratefully received. 

  • I can't recall details, beyond non-dairy milk with cereal, but was given a pretty comprehensive dietary guide. Have you not? Give oncology nurses a call?

    Good luck, Dave 

  • Hello   I was given advice on diet if the RT caused bowel side effects but don’t recall changing anything except for dropping alcohol, soft drinks, fizzy drinks and caffeine before, during and after RT. I was asked to have a walk and pass some wind just once, the fraction went ahead after that. But we’re all different and I guess it depends on your current diet and if/how the RT affects you?
