Low Residue

[Gnusgal]

Anyone ever have to do a low residue diet before? Nathan has to do this until his ulcers and esophagus heal. Anyone have a good web site for recipes? So now we need low-residue and low-sodium.

Thanks in advance!

Niki:

What is a low-residue diet? Is that a low-fiber one?

That's pretty much what I thought....

Makes sense to be on a low residue diet with what Nathan is tackling right now.

Thanks. I did some searching myself and found pretty much the same thing. Poor Nathan is getting tired of his mother and I asking "are you allowed to eat that?" And last night I had to tell him he couldn't eat the edamame he'd ordered.

I can't wait for him to be cleared to eat normally again. I miss vegetables!
