Introduction
A high fiber diet is recommended for almost everyone because of the many health benefits known to occur (High Fiber Diet). Yet, there are times when a low fiber diet may be warranted.- active Diverticulitis of the colon
- acute phases of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease
- a fixed narrowing in the bowel
- after abdominal surgery when the intestines need time to heal
- gastroparesis, otherwise known as poor emptying of the stomach
Discussion with your physician should always occur before starting on a low fiber diet.
