@lel10 Start at the beginning of this post.. read oldest and newest and you will have the best answers. It is different from person to person. In general you will want to eat easily digested foods... which means low fiber ( that does not mean no fiber). High fiber foods tend to sit in the stomach a long time. You want to avoid the fibrous parts of foods... think stringy celery and stems of broccoli, cabbage and greens (turnip, mustard, collards, kale and spinach) and citrus fruits. Canned and cooked fruits can be digested better than fresh.. citrus fruits have a skin that would not be digested well. The fibrous parts can sit a long time in the stomach and cause bezoars. You can also search the internet for diet ideas.

Hi @lel10,
@fourof5zs is right. If you read through the messages of this discussion, you'll be able to create an incredible list of foods that work for most people. As @ken82 points out, everyone is different. You may find you can tolerate some things that others can't and vice versa.
You might also appreciate this list and video by Madelynn Strong, clinical dietitian at Mayo Clinic.

Lel10, have you had a consult with a dietitian who specializes in GI conditions?
