I was diagnosed with this also several years ago. I actually ended up in the hospital for 3 day because I didn't know I had it. Thought it was just a stomach bug. It's very painful. I was also told no fiber for a couples of weeks and the food choices do get boring. I ate pretty much what you described. I was told to slowly to introduce fiber back into my diet.

I was still getting flare ups on occasion not making the right food choices. It's under control now, no flare ups for about a year now. Avoid anything with seeds, even tiny ones like in strawberrys, nuts, foods high in fat, corn or anything that is hard for your stomach to digest. I still can't even tolerate lettuce or fruit even though I peel off the skin. No potatoes with the skin on.

My diet now consists mainly of chicken, white rice only with some kind of sauce, steak, fish, mashed potatoes, frozen butternut squash, I'm to lazy to peel a whole one, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, carrots but they have to be soft, cereal, tuna, white pasta with pizza sauce, no seeds in that or an alfredo sauce. It's hard to get greens into my diet but now I can tolerate brocolli if it is soft. I find it's hard to eat healthy with this condition. I have actually lost weight and I was not over weight to begin with.

Just accept boring now for a few weeks then slowly introduce new foods into your diet. It's trial and error. You will figure it out. I really hope you feel better soon. My doctor gave me a list of foods to eat and not eat. Maybe you could ask for a list also. It's not a fun condition to have.

True, but these 2 items are allowed. Don't know why. Maybe because they are the only ones with super low fiber. Sweet potatoes are not on it. I put a large piece of onion in Chicken Soup with a large piece of celery and carrot and then remove them. Gives it some flavor. I love onions, but they are not allowed either.

When I asked the Doctor about pureeing food, he said that if you puree veggies into a shake, you will just have a HIGH fiber shake. I thought it would break it down. Apparently it does not.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Your info is appreciated.

Hi! I can't have fiber 3/4 of the time because of my pancreas. I live on - roasted white Yukon Gold or any white potato with evoo and sliced onions (if you can have onions), white pasta, omelets ( I have even made an omelet with leftover pasta with sauce ), organic Mott's Applesauce from Costco, A lot of fresh Fish, Tuna or Salmon burgers or a loaf. Take skinless, boneless chicken thighs, marinade overnight and then bake them at 400 for 45-50 minutes till crisp. Or, just use evoo and whatever seasonings you want and bake. Sometimes when I cook fish, I spread mustard all over, then make a mixture of parsley, dill, scallions, bread crumbs, lemon juice, evoo, lemon pepper and touch of garlic and bake. Try adding some dill when you have tuna. Also, go and buy either regular or salt free lemon pepper. Costco has it. It adds a great boost of flavor to anything. Costco also has a no salt all purpose seasoning. It's ok. I hope this helps. Feel better!

NAME ALREADY TAKEN: I have pancreas divisum and have undergone multiple surgeries for my pancreatic issues and rarely eat salmon because I find it hard to digest even with the enzymes. I take about 8 on an averagte day but if I eat something salmon, I take up to 50.

I love cooking and my children and friends love eating so I make lots of goodies for them that I cannot eat. I get to smell it anyway. I have found salmon is so rich, it is hard to digest. I love it. Wish I could eat it everyday. I do eat it occasionally because it is worth a little suffering and more enzymes. Ha ha..
