white toast, apple sauce, mango(interesting enough i find the fiber in the mango hardens my stomach), cheese (with less then 30% fat), steamed rice, I never was a fan of psyllium seed but I do try it when I need it(it does react differently for me everytime I use it so its risky for me), and ofcourse any hard core pain killer would slow my stomach down as well as reduce pain(but you can easily get hooked on them). odd foods that helped me was bad fast food... don't ask me how but a cheese burger and fries normally would slow my stomach down and give me a bit of relief.

I like to start my day with about a half dozen Krispee Kreme donuts and/or a waffle.

For lunch, another half dozen KK donuts and a banana, 'cuz fruit is supposed to be good for you or something.

Dinner is a small yogurt because I like to eat healthy.

;-P

Hi all, well I have tried different things for the past year now and i have had some flareups if i get out of my diet.. what seems to work the best for me is Lactoce free and low low fat.... i also just tried doing the Gluten free diet because i guess its good for you, I feel better with energy but i still have so much pain and dizziness and nausea.... it sucks ..ohhh i forgot well my joint pain that was really bad has improved so much with the Gluten free foods..

You mention surgery. If you had your colon removed the runs are part of the body re-learning experience. If I want to thicken my system up I use Metamuscil as it adds bulk. Dairy is touchy, some cheese for me is OK in mild doses, however the chain or most frozen pizza is big trouble. Also you mention you nibble during the day. I have found that munching starts the inside moving so I space and pace myself. One imodium daily also helps slow me down.

I have always hated to eat in the morning, not a good thing. Of late I have been doing Smoothies, Spinach, sprouts and any other fruit or veggie I have in the house plus sometimes a raw egg, vitamins in the blender. For me this is the best thing I have found since my surgery 16 years ago.

Good Luck to you.

I forgot to mention that if I'm feeling tender inside I use Aloe Vera juice as a base instead of apple juice in my smoothies.

I have used Aloe Vera juice and metamucil for years when tender. I call it my healing inside band aid.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
