about 2-3 weeks ago someone, i can't remember who, posted about using a low residue diet. i would like to thank them i am at my wits end again, with all of the other symptoms including partial obstructions, i have significant pressure caused by adhesions on my kidney, which is causing my blood pressure to rise significantly, my doctor put me on an extra blood pressure medicine for 5 days to help until i could try the low residue diet, since then my blood pressure has come back to normal and the pain is much much bearable. i had no idea that eating the fruits and veggies would make things worse, since they are supposed to be so good for you. it may be a temporary fix but i really appreciate the information i desperately do not want another surgery. genny
