7. Not All Fiber is Off Limits with the Low-Residue Diet
Your doctor and nutritionist may recommend a few foods with fiber in them, as some foods contain smaller amounts of this nutrient. Doctors may recommend adding oats, ground flax seeds, or cooked fruit to the low-residue diet. These provide enough fiber to make the stool a bit thicker, without overly increasing bowel movement count. These foods can help someone who has diarrhea or very soft stool.
