3. Low-Residue Diet Vs. Low Fiber Diet
A low-residue diet differs from a low-fiber diet in many ways. While both limit intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains, a low-residue diet has many other restrictions that go beyond limiting fiber. Low-fiber diets generally recommend getting only 5 to 15 grams of fiber per day. Low-residue diets, on the other hand, go beyond this, cutting out foods like prune juice, leafy vegetables, bran cereals, popcorn and limiting dairy.
