It is indicated for persons with inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, intermittent or partial obstruction, as a postoperative diet, or following radiation to the gastrointestinal tract. The restricted fiber diet excludes most raw fruits and vegetables, as well as whole-grain breads and cereals, seeds, and nuts. It does not restrict meat or dairy products. On a low-residue diet, prune juice is eliminated and milk and milk products are restricted to two cups daily as these items increase colonic residue.

>2.) Low-Residue / Low-Fiber Diets...The purpose of the diet is to decrease the amount of undigestible fiber a person consumes. This reduces stool weight and frequency and prevents intestinal obstruction. The patient must avoid whole-grain breads and cereals, nuts and seeds, most raw, and some cooked fruits and vegetables.

>4.) Low-Fiber / Low-Residue Diet...The fiber in fruits, vegetables, and grains is not absorbed by the body. Instead, it adds bulk to bowel movements. When smaller, softer bowel movements are important, doctors therefore recommend a low fiber/low residue diet. You may need this type of diet if you have diarrhea, cramping, bowel problems, or difficulty digesting certain foods. A low-residue diet is also often recommended after surgery.
