low residue diets

It took me YEARS to realize soy was bad for my health (I won't let my family have any, either, but it does get snuck in foods if you don't read ingredients and they put it under other labels as well like "hyrolyzed vegetable protein" and stuff). I STILL didn't believe it and then got my thyroid tested, it was great, went on a vegetarian diet per my Napth doctor at the time and tested my thyroid 2 months later and it was skyrocketed (low low low). I never touched the stuff again...I had my proof in the lab report. Wow that stuff did a doozy on me. I'll just say please that I never get an intolerance to rice milk, or rice.

Does anyone have a link to a more thorough description of what a low residue diet is? Are fresh vegetables totally out? I just started a garden! But I think I need to consider going on a low res diet. I tried the SCD diet and all the fiber must have torn me up. That and I was loosing too much weight without the calories from starches.

I bake up a bunch of chicken breasts when they're on sale. I sprinkle some chicken seasoning on the skin (which I peel off when chicken is cooked), and spray with butter flavor cooking spray.  The first night, I eat the baked chicken.  I cut up the remaining chicken some into cubes  and some ground.  I freeze some and use some for: 

Chicken quiche, chicken alfredo (use lactaid dairy), chicken fried rice (make with well cooked diced carrots, onion powder, scrambled egg and the diced chicken, pasta salad with diced chicken, shredded cheese, and chopped egg, chicken pizza, chicken pot pie with potato and carrot, chicken noodle soup, etc.  In between the chicken meals, I make baked spaghetti casserole, grilled scallops and rice pilaf, baked haddock with ritz crumb stuffing, mac and cheese, etc.  I always fall back on one of my chicken recipes as I know I'll have a safe day.  Lunch is egg salad made with low fat mayo - no celery.  Tuna salad sandwich, a cup of low fiber soup such as cream of asparagus, etc.  I have a slice of pound cake, or sherbet or pudding for dessert.   

I remember reading this thread when I was still a lurker on here and just DXed so it's very nice to contribute now.
I'm a lacto-vegetarian with a 8" stricture the width of spaghetti so most of the low residue things that most of you can eat I can't like white rice.

If there are others like me I will tell you what I do eat. Maybe it will help as I have not gotten blocked even once since I started on this

cream of wheat cereal everyday with 2% milk and honey, tea breakfast
almond butter and no seed jelly on white bread, live culture yogurt, vitamins lunch
dinner can be pasta with cottage cheese and black pepper, or english muffin pizzas made with yogurt cheese and canned sauce (no bits) with extra virgin olive oil spooned on, or scrambled tofu in EVOO with tons of tumeric, black pepper, salt, and a little garlic powder on white flour tortillas and rest of vitamins
for dessert either no sugar apple sauce with cinnamon (great if you are getting constipated). all natural rice pudding with tons of cinnamon, pound cake
sometimes I have a blueberry muffin that I pick all the blueberries out of..lol

I also have fresh carrot juice when I can, tons of organic live cultured yogurt, and the occasional V8.. tons of chamomile tea, sleepy time tea
I've been on the above for almost 18 months.. no pain.. just gaining weight.. but that will be alright as I need my resection surgery very soon.
