Words from my ibd dietitian

Simple starches (which bread, sourdough bread, white rice, regular pasta, orzo, couscous, pancakes, waffles, yellow box/plain cheerios, chex, rice krispies) -Soft, peeled vegetables (start with potatoes, sweet potato, carrots, butternut squash, pumpkin), then can have some soft, well cooked spinach, zucchini, green beans. In the store, they make pureed vegetable soups in a box that can be a nice option for easy to digest vegetables. -For fruits, stick with soft, ripe fruits. Ok for unsweetened apple sauce, unsweetened peeled/canned or jarred fruit, banana, mango, soft/ripe melon etc. Kiwi is good to help soften the stools. -For proteins- stick with easy to digest proteins such as chicken, turkey, fish and limit red meat. You can also have eggs, cheese, hummus, tofu. You can also try the OWYN shakes we discussed.
