My husband is currently having radiotherapy and having difficulties with gas 5 out of 7 treatments to date. He is adhering strictly to dietary advice and following all instructions, taking windeze but still having this problem, which is causing him some concern and delaying his treatment. We spoke to another patient who had the same problem and he has advised to use an anal douche instead of the prescribed enemas because this has helped him to alleviate gas. Has anyone here used these and are they safe to use?
Hello Again JLMAT53
Another welcome to the Prostate group.
I appreciate you have received advice from another patient - and as this is medical advice - I would be speaking to the Radiotherapy team before you change anything about the enemas. Don't forget the Radiotherapy team have seen this before - what knowledge has "this other patient"?
Let's see what other Community members think.
Best wishes - Brian.
