Hi Mikeey. In case it might be helpful, I have had amazing success with a cup of cooked GF steel cut oatmeal every morning. I just make it with water and there seems to be something special about it being "steel cut"..not processed, rolled or quick cooking. For me, the soluble fiber seems to act not only as a bulking agent (creating a smooth exit) but also as a "broom" sweeping out whatever lingering bacteria/food particles are in my GI tract that could cause further mischief (SIBO)

Since I started this routine a few years ago, I have not been on any medications nor have I had pouchitis. Good luck to you...I hope you feel better soon.
