I really like Activa yogurt shots. They are tasty, very small probiotic smoothie drinks with protein that can curb your appetite. I buy a case at BJ's and grab one when hungry, and when I was doing soft food diet at home. Not all brands taste good. I just tossed a dozen (ouch!) I didn't like at all. This liquid soft diet is going to work, Maxine!! You can do it. Get through the first three days. You got this! It's not forever. You're giving your digestive system a break it needs. Liquid, then soft... low fiber. Pudding, yogurt, clear broth soups, mashed potatoes, jello, pasta with a bit of butter, crackers (saltines in your broth soup), scramble eggs, pancakes, waffles. Small meals, yogurt shots in between. Check with a dietitian. This is what I did after the perforation.
Thanks, it sounds delicious. I will start doing it. Today, I had my slice of pound cake before I took my vitamins with a bit of weak coffee and a banana for desert. I have an avocado waiting with an English muffin that I will try to eat this afternoon and see what happens.
Well............don't think the english muffin with avocado toasted liked me. I made a big dish of white rice. Drinking my liquids again all day. Hope I lose a few lbs.
Rice is good. I stayed away from fruit and vegetables in the first week or so. Canned green beans was my first vegetable. Very soft. Small portions of Pancakes, white rice, pasta, muffins, toast w/butter and jelly, and NO caffeine coffee/tea. It's like learning to eat an entirely different way. I lost almost 15 pounds in a month. Who says carbs are bad???
Hi, I eat white rice and it goes down well. I'm suffering from trapped Air Pockets in my colon. A form of IBS, SIBO. I also suffer diverticulitis. Hope you feel better.
Hi, it's not easy to deal with flare ups. The times I suffered flare ups it was of something I was not suppose to eat. Especially, sugar, greasy foods etc. You'll kind of study your reactions to certain foods you consume.... feel better!

I always have one cup of coffee each morning, but now, since I only do instant coffee, I am using half a spoon to try to ween myself off of coffee. I suppose tea won't do either.
I actually fried eggs in olive oil and made a sandwich on white bread for breakfast. Just drank liquid all day until I ate more white rice for dinner. I hope I lose some weight also. I read that butter was bad to eat. English muffins didn't seem to agree but I love pasta with pesto. So far so good. Hope everyone on here is OK today.
Definitely avoids all NSAIDS as they can trigger flare ups. Otherwise I take 4 Metamucil capsules each day and try as high a fiber diet as I can tolerate. Broccoli and dried beans only in very limited amounts. My sister gets flare ups from peanuts. So we’re all different. And stress always can make things worse as our gut is part of our nervous system.

I used to eat broccoli, but no more since it really affects me. I was told to take 'A' metamucil, but I should try taking more. I'm actually trying to stay away from high fiber while I am having pain because I guess it means that something bad is happening if I have pain. As I do today! I should take a 1/2 pill tonight to make sure I can go to the bathroom tomorrow since I haven't in two days. Nor unusual for me! I only drank liquid for lunch today and ate fish, baked potato, and a slice of pound cake for dessert. I sure miss a real dessert. I did eat jello the past two nights for dessert. What else can I eat for dessert? Hmmmm, I wonder.
