      I cook them myself. I think that canned would be ok. Just make sure to cook them until they are soft. Unfortunately I find that I have to cook vegetables until they are very soft. I have made soup with chicken onion, celery, carrots, rice or potatoes. I cut the celery and onion in very small pieces and over cook them. For meat I can eat chicken and fish with no problem. I gave eaten a little hamburger. Make sure to chew your meat really well. I only eat small potions of meat. About 3 maybe 4 ounces. I eat yogurt for breakfast. Patricia I hope this helps.

    I was told just for the low residue (fiber) diet weeks nothing that makes the colon work hard like broccoli, brussel sprouts, lettuces. Nothing raw. I was allowed carrots , green beans cooked well and canned vegetables because they are soft. Google 'low residue diet' for a list.
