A variety of non-evidence-based dietary advice on modified fibre and lactose intakes are provided to patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy to counteract treatment-related bowel symptoms. More knowledge on the nutritional consequences of such advice is needed. This study aimed to explore how advice on modified fibre and lactose intakes during pelvic radiotherapy was associated with nutrient intakes amongst patients with prostate cancer.
