Hello Murray

So nice to meet you.  14 years ago I lost my bowel due to Ulcerative
Collitis..and I have had many problems.  I have an internal S pouch
(made from the small bowel), I had an illiostomy only for 1 year.  I
have to use a Medena tube to empty.

Well anyways, I am not allowed anything with high fibre count (like
brown bread, veggie's fruit)  So really this is the only diet for me,
as low fat is totally out of the question.  But I am also not allowed
to become constipated.  Have you had any problems with constipation on
this diet, as I know others have , but alas I am not normal LOL.
I do eat a bit of celery, radishes, cucumber, and green and yellow
beans..but that is the extent that I can have (really should not have
that) but I found that I can have it in very little moderation.

I have tried this diet once before ..last year..but I bled in my urine
and it scared me.  Trying it one more time as I do have alot of weight
to loose.  I am on day 5 of the INDUCTION.  And I feel wonderful,
headache has subsided and I am not craving what so ever.  Although may
be easier for me, as I could never have much bread and fibre anyways.
Have not had lettuce or cabbage in over 14 yrs ..IMAGINE.

Thank you so much for posting, looking forward to hearing more from
you
