DIVI DINERS

Posted , 82 users are following.

Returning from a hospital session of Drips and Deprevation (food) I was handed a Low Residue diet to follow. Scant in products,and information what to do with said products, I searced the web for more information, 

onlt to find contradictory eat's and don't eats, so I thought that WE the 

sufferers of food deprevation should start our own Divi Diners club and see if we can throw some light on the subject.

Ilove mushrooms,but cannot find any info about them.

How do we achieve our five a day if we can't eat fruit? Is it O.K. to take the

skins off?

Can we have chips or roasties,or fish with batter on?

Spices, do any of you use spices. and what do you put on spaghetti?

Can we blitz veggies, as stews and casseroles are forbidden?

Pastry is allowed, but no mentoin of which type.

So. can we help each other ,then at least when ,or if we ,dine out, we can

order something from the menu.

I cannot eat boiled potatoes ,eggs (is it O.K to have a fried one?)

jelly and rice pudding for ever. .

So please join in and share your doe's and dont's. mushrooms eaters

would be good to hear from.

    Hi both, great idea, but why avoid onions?

    Also why not start a Facebook page with this on like the one for Bile Salt Malabsorption. 

    I also would not eat a lot of bread as this causes me awful wind. Gluten free is also a good way to go. My poor colon after the sushi I ate yesterday.....

      Hello. thanks for your comments. Was the sushi a one off .or was the

      fish off'?

      Bread is a problem, though I  do enjoy a bacon "butty" but have not yet

      found out if bacon is acceptable.

      Can't do Facebook,

      Hi Jacqui how are you doing now has your flare up been sorted? Anymore helpful diet or other advice from the docs lol? 😌

      Linda, nice to hear from you My" flare  " or ,as I now call them explosions

      has retreated for now, but I am obviously putting the wrong foods into my 

      system ,so I thoughtb the Divi Diners ought to be reactivated so  help 

      can is at hand  I did wonder about batter and if anyone has eaten a 

      battered fish and been given  the divi an excuse to set off 

      Is it the flour or the oil . I did have a croissant first one for months, but 

      I can't see that set it off. not quite sure what sort of flour is used 

      How are you ? Well I hope  ? 

      We all seem to be tippy toeing through the larder

       I wonder what we would put on the menu if we had a Divi gathering .xx

      What are right or wrong foods? I think sometimes your body handles the same foods differently at different times if that makes sense. Haven't eaten batter in a long time so don't know about that. My bugbear seems to be seeds and anything with fruit and sultanas in. So out go fruit cake and lovely tea cakes 😢

      AAHH tea cakes toasted and covered in butter and strawberry jam . 

      I did wonder if it was the different acids that are in different sections of the

      guts may vary in their ability to cope ,and change the strength to devour

      food ,and let it collect  Are you impressed with that, ? It just popped out

    • Posted

      The mind boggles with your theory lol and raspberry and strawberry jam are out. People think I am being awkward when I refuse certain foods but then they haven't got the pain like we have 😒

      Tip tree make seedless Jams  Go shopping I  buy mine from a garden 

      centre who sell interetind deli stuff and marmalade without any peel  Tiptree again

      The acid thing came about, because the acid in our stomach is strong

      enough to melt concrete so what 's the prob with nuts and dried fruit 

       and veggies ,that are supposed to be water ,someone has got it

      wrong somewhere .

    • Posted

      excuse spelling ,it should read  "interesting" deli  stuff

      How come I can write  proper, but not press keys proper

    • Posted

      Acid could be involved i also have a hiatus hernia that used to give me heartburn. I have been reading Jons post and funnily enough have manuka honey quite often perhaps the secret to keeping the pain bearable? Oh to turn the clock back a few years and eat what you want! ☺️

      Now now Linda chin up. I get my Manuka from Holland & B they at

      least sell the real McCoy   It's nuts I miss and strawberries and chilli and curry and oh the list is endless sad

      Hi have you found the jams yet ?

      I have been thinking about picking all the fruit out of a teacake the lovely

      taste would still be there.Desperation leads to desperate acts

      Been scoffing melon , and mangoes love it when the juice runs down my

       chops Can we have pineapple ?? Is it on any no no list

    • Posted

      Forgot to tell you H&B are finally doing a special on Manuka
    • Posted

      Ha ha don't think picking all the fruit out would be doable. Am still eating seedless jam a friend made but will look for tiptree. I love mango and can eat pineapple yummy 😀

      Glad you mentioned pineapple ,I just posted Jon (OUR FARTING GURU 

      about them  I like them chopped up and put in with chicken and noodles

       Aldi sell the juiciest mangoes  Will get some tomorrow and a pineapple before the op, because I will not be able to drive for a couple of weeks 

      I will have to get some tea cakes as i will have plenty of time, maybe not

      so easy with one hand another good idea crushed !!

      I agree that our bodies tolerate foods differently at different times. For instance, I dearly love popcorn. It can be a tremendous digestive aid when eaten after dinner. It can also send you to your bed if your diverticula are inflamed.

      yes I agree the body handles the same foods differently at different times. I think something that might be the reason is anxiety. We all know what that can do to the digestive system added to that rushing food etc might just triggers symptoms. ok
