Are smoothies the way to go when you have a flare?

[SusanB2001]

Hello folks,

I have been fighting a flare up for several months now. I have quite a bit of inflammation in my small bowel so I have been staying away from fibre.

I was wondering however if making smoothies would bypass the need for my intestines to work too hard? I read a lot about juicing but what about smoothies? Of course I'm thinking about smoothies where there a no seeds; so no raspberries but blueberries blend nicely.

Anyone know if smoothies would work? I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.
