Need diet suggestion

Hi

I would ALSO love to hear any diet / food suggestions .I'm trying to slowly build back to normal eating and get over a bad flare up. So far all i have been told is to not eat fruit or vegtables and eat white bread , white rice / pasta. Cornflakes too , altough it depends on how you take to milk

I did find a list somewhere on the net and it mentioned foods based on white flour such as cakes , biscuits etc but i cant find it now

I had tried mashed potatos but not sure of this is a good idea or not

 

baked potato is an excellent source of nutrients -- just don't eat the skin. I do boiled or lightly scrambled eggs (lactose free milk or rice milk) When I am dealing with a flare I depend on yoghurt -- plain with a little maple syrup is my staple. My former doc, my saviour, preferred to see me on a low-glycemic load meal replacement rather than eating plain white starches when I was miserable. She was of the opinion that filling up on white bread etc was not a health promoting solution and really pushed the powdered meal replacement made by usana because of its low-glycemic load and because it was subject to FDA scrutiny so its nutritional claims were tested. This is the only meal replacement I have found so far that doesn't give me the runs. Even the formulas used for tube feeding have exacerbated my diarrhea.

mash potatoes are great as long as you are not lactose intolerant. Potato soup is my fav!

Why can't you eat mashed potatoes if you're lactose intolerant?

You don't have to put butter and milk in mashed potatoes, to make them taste good, infact I never use milk or butter for my mashed potatoes, I use fresh herbs of course, and chicken broth.

sweet potatoes mashed or baked are great and have more nutrients than white potatoes.

I don't do low residue...I eat lots of fibre, brown rice is just better for you than white starchy rice.
