Hello and thank you all in advance. I am 4 months out from my ileostomy being closed. My recent scope showed no pouchitis (I had been having lots of gas and diarrhea). I am feeling better, on Flagyl. I have added Metamucil per our nutritionist's suggestion. I am bored with what I'm eating. Lots of pretzels, rice, mashed potatoes, apple sauce, plain pasta, turkey or chicken, occasional salmon, some marshmallows, and yogurt and cheese (taken with a Lactaid pill even though in my past that was not an issue). I have tried canned pears and canned French-cut string beans. I crave variety. I wonder if there is a book or resource for how and when to increase fiber, types of fiber, types of foods, sample menus, anything that will help me slowly, carefully, and safely expand my diet. thank you, Stephen
