I begin having this radiation side effects 11 months after radiation therapy was completed. Will change in diet or certain foods help with radiation proctitis.

Hi . I can't personally speak to this issue, but I want to share with you these previous Forum discussions on the topic: https://prostatecancer.net/forums/side-effects-from-imrt-proctitis and https://prostatecancer.net/forums/chronic-radiation-proctitis. I also found this research article that deals with diet and pelvic radiation disease, including proctitis: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4058479/. Have your doctors had any treatment advice? Hope this information is helpful and you can get some relief. Best, Richard (Team Member)
