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.
Thank you! Most helpful! I see my GP again in 3 weeks and will certainly follow up to see a dietitian. I didn’t think of that and am surprised that it hasn’t been offered.
Yes, it is surprising that doctors don't suggest it, because it can be so helpful. I'm glad that you will consider it. Will you let me know how you are doing?

Thursday, I have an appointment with another gastro to get a second opinion, but first I will get a MRI of my stomach. I need to get more information!! Hope you stay well.

Can't wait until Thursday when I get MRI of my stomach and my spine. Then have appointment with another gastro. I'm hoping for good results, but the pain on my right side has returned. Yikes!

When I have an infection, I must have clear liquids and antibiotics. After about 3 days, I ease into soft foods and a low residue diet. When completely healed I go back to my regular diet ( and attempt to get enough fiber). I take one stool softener daily. It’s important to keep things moving. Something that works for me is overnight oats with fruit. Fresh blueberries are also great! This is a frustrating disease!

I’m also confused. I’ve been very conscious of the need to eat adequate fibre and do so. To not do that seems counter intuitive.
