Sure, a low residue diet is basically a low fiber diet. Here is some information about a low fiber diet from Mayo Clinic's website:

--Low Fiber Diet
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/low-fiber-diet/art-20048511
Since raw fruits and veggies are generally high fiber, I often make soups (and use an immersible blender to puree them) or make smoothies. That way, I get the nutrients, but without the fiber.

Each person is different, so what works for me, might not necessarily work for you. However, I always feel like a change in eating habits is generally not very costly and is worth trying for a month or so to see if it helps.
