How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?

If possible, consult with a RDN who specializes in nutrition. I had to follow a low fiber diet of 8 mg per day so basically all refined white flour to settle my gut during healing post surgery. A new food is introduced every few days and, thus you find the triggers and avoid those foods.. a very long process but necessary to avoid SBOs and digestive upsets. Good luck!

This is a great suggestion. For those in the group who may not know what "RDN" means, it stands for registered dietitian. Here is a link from the Cleveland Clinic website, explaining the role of an RDN.

I have consulted with an RDN twice and have found it very helpful. Having an RDN added to your medical team can bring about great results.
