Hey Wowhead

I've got to do a low residue diet all next week to prep for my capsule endo. What kind of thing do you eat? Being gluten free and vegetarian, I feel like it's going to be about survival and not culinary exploration for the week...

It is the suck! Avoid anything with a skin. No peppers, onions, greens of any kinds, beans of any kind, peas and corn. Avoid all whole grains. They have indigestible parts. White rice is fine. No nuts, no whole spices, no seeds.

I live primarily on potatoes with no skins and cooked to death carrots. Kids' cereals and pirates booty are great snacks.

Thanks for the advice! I'm so sorry you have to eat like this all the time. :-(

Well, I think? I had potatoes for dinner last night, an egg on gluten free white bread from breakfast and I'm now drinking a banana smoothie with milk, ice, and a bit of peanut butter powder. I'm already craving FRESH fruits and veg!

The fresh fruits and veggies thing kills me. I decided to try a simple iceberg salad on Saturday. Bad idea.  Bad, bad idea. I've been sick ever since.

:-( you poor thing! I'm so sorry you are still so limited. What's your treatment plan?

I have no idea at this point. The meds I'm on don't seem to be doing the trick. I see my GI next week so there will be a new plan then.

I hope than can figure something out for you. I know how much it sucks to not feel well constantly.
