I had been on weight watchers pretty much my whole life. I MISS TOMATOES! I couldn't even THINK of eating vegetable soup. My gut can't take tomato sauce. I could eat cooked carrots and potatoes but asparagus tips doesn't sound very good in vegetable soup.
I'd advise keeping a food diary. I love milk but I recently switched to Almond Milk. It's good!
Here are foods you can eat if you are on a low-residue diet:
Grains
- Refined or enriched white breads and plain crackers, such as saltines or Melba toast (no seeds).
- Cooked cereals, such as farina, cream of wheat, and grits.
- Cold cereals, such as puffed rice and corn flakes.
- White rice, noodles, and refined pasta.
Fruits and Vegetables
The skin and seeds of many fruits and vegetables are loaded with fiber, so peeling skin and avoiding seeds is part of a low-residue diet. The following vegetables can be eaten on a low-residue diet:
- Well cooked fresh vegetables or canned vegetables without seeds, such as asparagus tips, beets, green beans, carrots, mushrooms, spinach, squash (no seeds), and pumpkin.
- Cooked potatoes without skin.
- Tomato sauce (no seeds).
Fruits include:
- Ripe bananas
- Soft cantaloupe
- Honeydew
- Canned or cooked fruits without seeds or skin, such as applesauce or canned pears
- Avocado
