Recipes for a Low-Fiber (Bland) Diet?

[Kristin1979]

Does anyone have any good recipes to follow on a Low-Fiber/Bland diet? I was put on a bland diet when I was diagnosed with UC but, frankly, I'm getting really bored with the foods I've been eating. I'm not a cook but I want to follow some easy recipes that will offer variety.

I can't offer much help, I not a great cook either, but I hope you'll get some good replies because I'll be on a soft/low fibre/bland diet when I have ileostomy surgery next month. I'm already used to doing low fibre, but after the surgery all the information leaflets the hospital has sent me so far seem centred on white rice, mashed potato, toast, plus bananas seem to be about the only acceptable fruit. When I see the stoma nurse I'll hopefully be getting some more ideas, so I'll come back and post if I get anything useful.

Btw. does anyone know why white toast is better for a bland diet than white bread untoasted?

Id suggest the book What to Eat with IBD, it's got great healthy low fiber recipes. You can also check out recipes all over the net, and take out books from the library. We have a cooking with Crohn's section too which likely includes many "safe" recipes. http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12
