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.

That is so interesting. Low fiber diet. My doctor said I was not eating enough fiber!! So, I started trying to eat more fiber during the day. Am I wrong????
I have stopped eating meat, nuts. I do eat cooked zucchini, broccoli, carrots, potato and snack on apples, pears and Nature Valley Trail mix bar, yogurt, fried eggs, low fat cheese, bagels with avocado, pasta with pesto, salads with tomatoes, cucumbers, but now I read that it's not good for me. I'm so confused.
