Thanks for the replies and PMs, I’m truly grateful.
How interesting Franbern, I think I’ll have to start experimenting.
I did think I had a blockage a couple of weeks ago and spent a few days in back hospital, however it turned out that adhesions were the culprit and not anything I’d eaten.
Ah the wind Smileless. Yes I’ve discovered that broccoli makes my bag fill with gas alarmingly quickly, it resembles a zeppelin straining to escape its tethers.
Thank you all for your good wishes.
If you have adhesions, then you definitely need to keep to a low-residue diet.
I was offered an appointment with a dietician at my hospital, and she gave me a list of foods to eat and those to go careful with - plus those to avoid.
It might be useful for you.
One thing I do though - in the winter - is make loads of slow-cooker recipes, beef, chicken, lamb (lamb tagine in particular), adding root vegetables, green beans, broccoli and onions... all goes down well (and I have tons of adhesions) because all the ingredients are so well-cooked... melt-in-the-mouth cooked, and the taste is dense and excellent.
... but I'd give my right arm for a salad right now. Skinning and de-seeding a tomato is a PITA. Some people can eat lettuce (but not the stalky bit).
Try for an appointment.
,,, and a refreshing snack on a hot day - cottage cheese mixed with (1) mango chutney (no bits), or (2) mixed with a very small dollop of mint sauce, and as another option (3) mixed with celery salt and, finally, (4) mixed with peeled and skinned cucumber chopped into small bits... all garnished with mini bread-sticks.
