Low residue recipes
11 Answers
I have to have a low residue diet for 5 days before my colonoscopy. This means I can eat chicken, fish, boiled potatoes, cauli florets, carrots, white bread, cheese, white rice, white pasta and not a lot else.
Any ideas of any recipes I could make rather than just cooking them as they are listed for 5 days?!

My mum has had to follow a low residue diet on more than one occasion (Crohns Disease) and she said that simple is best. Poached fish or grilled chicken with boiled or mashed spuds, cauliflower or macaroni cheese and steamed carrots. Looks a bit bland on the plate, but still tasty - it's only for a few days after all!
Scarlett - if you can have most or all of this, it will make the chicken or fish or potatoes very tasty :) Just sprinkle it on before you cook them - you can add as much or as little as your taste permits. He sells this premade for LOTS of money in very small containers - but he gives us the recipe free :)
