To chasingtime.

My Doctor is Dr. Harms of the University of Wisconsin Hospital. I only say that because I know he's not some random doctor and has done several hundred of the surgeries, it is his primary surgery he performs and people come from around the country to have him perform the surgeries. All of their pamphlets and printed handouts I've received from them as well as talking directly to Dr. Harms has told me to once food is passing through to start slowly increasing the fiber in the diet from 0 to 20-25 grams per day. I think the reasoning is that in regular people fiber helps move stuff through fast, in J-pouch patients, you are already going many times and the fiber actually helps slow down the amount of trips. On top of that, high fiber diets are low in fat, when you eat fat you produce bile and the bile is NASTY on the back end when it comes through. I've eaten the same meals with chicken, then with beef and the beef is always butt-burn city. High lipid foods like alfredo sauce, the fat in meats, and dairy I have found all do not work for me.
