Diarrhea is a problem in many patients during and even weeks after treatment. This is sometime due to the fact that the treatment has altered the normal flora of the gut that is needed for digestion. Talk to the hospitals nutritionist or dietician.
Active culture and/or probiotic yogourt can help in some cases.
Hope this may be usefull.
Cheers,
Mike
