Hello...any good tips for avoiding wind while having radiotherapy? My partner is trying really hard to eat a sensible diet, avoid onions and other wind generating foods, we have tried peppermint tea, windeeze pills, but poor man he still has problems having his bowel clear of wind for his daily radiotherapy. Any advice appreciated!

Finished my 33 sessions yesterday, I was given mini enemas to use a couple of hours before treatment. They cleared the lower rectum and the wind and I never had to abort any treatments to clear it. I did get an enormous amount of wind a few hours after treatment but it soon passed. Peppermint tea sometimes relives my indigestion but gives me wind. My diet avoided veg, fruit, brown bread wholemeal bread, wheat breakfast cereals, bread crumbs.

Thanks Chris
