@trippster HI, yes I'm w C too. I can eat fish, chicken, seeded squash - no seed, nuts, popcorn - if you can handle preservatives - I can limit 10 chips. Drinking3 30g Boost on the home stretch to hosp Mon for GES- 85% accuracy to determine Gastric Emptying Scan 4hr test aye. Gatorade no sugar. I stopped metamucil, benefiber, laxatives, & GERD med d/c. Yogurt vanilla or plain. No fresh fruit or fresh veggies. Canned beets (Libby sm whole beets), can carrots or you can buy fresh n boil em well cooked. Sweet potato digests faster than white peeled. But you want skins w C w/o w D bms. & I eat chicken. Bananas are good ripe for C & green banana are for D. Wish you well trippster
Fiber is very tricky with my GP body. Often, I cant eat at all and drink thin protein drinks.
Too much fiber makes me miserable! Both soluble and insoluble fiber sit in my gut for hours, preventing me from being able to drink water.
I generally prioritize water over food for this reason.
One would think I'd lose weight.
