Klsp, Slippery elm (inner bark) powder. The Frontier brand is very good. Put some in hot cereal or a hot drink. I use it with each meal. 1/8 teaspoon per meal for me. See what works for you.

Also Hilma Gentel Bowel Support for magnesium, it softens stool.

For fiber, I use plantain flour for my hot cereal and baked goods. Cooked potatoes, butternut squash, parsnips. You should be able to tolerate spinach.

Eggs, especially the egg white protein, is gentle protein and heals any inflammation.

Lactose free milk is gentle too.
