The low residue diet is the best and yes it is very restrictive but
everything is restrictive anyway in living with adhesions!! haha The
fiber products are a definate no-no to diet, fiber will not only inflame
your intestines it actually blows up and causes great distress. V8
juice is (i found) the only way to get ultimate veggie vitamins in our
bodies but even this we have to be careful with as the tomatoes are an
irritant, so only in small moderation, no seeds, no corn, things that
will get stuck and cause blockages.No beans or breads especially wheat
for some reason it is worse.Gas is not good but the only thing I can use
to help bm is prune juice, taking the actual prunes is alot slower in
severe adhesion cases. Prunes have alot of iron as my Dr. always kids
me and says "well we will never have to worry about your iron count",
haha. Hot soups are very comforting to the system and I have found calm
some spasms down when drank while putting heating pad on. You combat it
from both sides. Shawna
