Reply to "4th Day Home from Colectomy- J-pouch"

In the beginning, I was on a low residue diet.  My surgeon gave me the information on this.  Low fiber, white bread, white rice, bananas, chicken, peanut butter etc.  I don’t recall everything on it but you can most likely google it.  As others have said, chew well and introduce new foods slowly.  It is an adjustment period, and you will see what works for you.  Some foods tend to aggravate my pouch more than others, such as chocolate and red wine, but I still had a chocolate cupcake and half a glass of red wine last night.  Sometimes it’s just worth it to deal with the effects, mostly just looser stools.  I am 5 years out and eat pretty healthy most times.  I just try to watch my sugar and carb intake.
