I have had having a little think about my diet and I think I may be making things more difficult for my poor old colon. Last year I went for a food intolerance test and was told I had a lot of yeast in my colon. I was advised to remove sugar, yeast-based foods such as bread and marmite as well as honey and vinegar which I did do. But afterwards I found myself on a miriad of different diets all trying to achieve different purposes and since then I have rather lost the plot.
Since leaving hospital I have been told I need to be on mainly fluids and soft foods to allow food to pass through the various blocks and twists and turns in my colon. So with all this in mind, I am taking out all sugar and yeast-based foods. These foods 'feed' the gases in the colon and are probably causing havoc. So with the added filter of 'low fibre' soft foods this will be challenging to say the least.
So this looks like what I will be able to eat.
Avocado pear
Baby spinach
butternut
potatoe
Yogurt
Milk
Eggs
Butter
Beef
Chicken
Beef stock
Lettuce
Cucumber (no skin or pips)
Soup with no bits (cream of chicken)
plain crackers
stewed apples
So i could have lettuce, cucumber and yogurt and avocado.
Beef/chicken stew liquidised with mash potatoe
Mashed potatoe with butternut
Soup
Stewed apple and yogurt for breakfast
scrambled eggs.
Its an idea. Will let you know how I get on and whether it brings any improvement to the pain, discomfort and rumblings of my tummy.
