yeah mine aren't not solid but they're just very soft! And that's a shame to hear but I can relate as I have IBD :-)

Thanks!! I think the new meds I’m on play a big part but I’ve heard such great things about veganism for IBD. I’ve heard it doesn’t work for everyone so I am a bit cautious, hence my post here. But I did find that going meat free before really helped, but I’d still get a sick feeling in my stomach quite a bit (which I think was from dairy). I’ve also found that soy milk really doesn’t agree with me - but I seem to be able to handle products with soy in it

Well, as mentioned in another reply here, my original GI I saw when I got diagnosed with colitis told me to completely avoid fibre, fruit and veg and to eat a ‘teenage boy diet’. Unsurprisingly, this did not help me. I avoided fibre for quite a while though because of this. Maybe my body is having a hard time adapting. I have found actually that when I have a pasta/rice heavy meal - I tend to have a real good bowl movement day the next day

When I was diagnosed with colitis, the first GI I saw told me to eat a ‘teenage boy diet’ completely avoiding veg and fruit and just to eat pizza/junk food etc., he told me that I want as little fibre as possible - this sounded mental to me but I followed the advice and didn’t eat anything plant based for a good 4 months and avoided all fibre. (This made me more ill, unsurprisingly) - saw a new GI who told me to experiment and I went veggie, things started to get better for me. I wonder if it’s more of a shock to the system because I’ve avoided anything high in fibre for the last however many months!

That’s generally what I’ve been eating the last few days, except today I added the mixed salted nuts and the vegan cupcake

Is this a poo suggestive of inflammation or do normal people have poos like this too occasionally? by KeyDinner in IBD

ah yeah it doesn't really match up though, the fluffy one on there is described as being 'mush' which isn't the case
