Purpose:<\/strong> A low residue\/low fiber diet is for people who need to rest their intestinal tract. Certain medical conditions require a low fiber diet to minimize pain and discomfort. Patients with diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn\u2019s disease or ulcerative colitis, or gastroparesis (weak stomach motility) benefit from a low residue diet, as well as those undergoing chemotherapy, radiation treatments, or surgery. A low residue diet limits the amount of food waste that has to be moved through the large intestine. Your stool will be smaller and you may need extra water or a stool softener to have regular bowel movements. An intake of less than 10 grams of fiber per day is generally considered a low residue\/low fiber diet. This diet is adequate in all nutrients and can be followed for a few weeks. However, if the diet must be strict and followed over a long period of time, the intake of fruits, vegetables, and calcium may not be adequate, therefore a multi-vitamin supplement or liquid nutritional supplement may be needed.<\/p>\n Key Summary Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n Keeping you healthy is our main aim here at The GI Center.
