When doctors recommend a low fiber diet during recovery, gentle foods can help you get enough nutrition while your colon heals.
Examples may include white rice, eggs, broth, canned fruit without skin, cooked vegetables without skins, and lean proteins. Your doctor will tell you when to transition back to higher fiber foods.
