Be careful about suddenly increasing your daily fiber intake. If you suddenly add large amounts of fiber to your diet, you may experience bloating, diarrhea, and severe stomach cramping. It is best to add fiber to your diet gradually, eating small amounts of fiber rich foods. Additional fiber can be added slowly until you are consuming a healthy amount.\n\nTips for Eating Fiber\n\n    * Eat a variety of foods\n    * Do not completely rely on fiber supplements\n    * Limit your intake of processed foods\n    * Increase your fiber intake gradually\n    * Try to consume 25 to 35 grams of fiber every day \n\nTypes of Fiber\n\nThere are two main types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers dissolve in water. Soluble fibers include: pectin, guar, carrageenan, gums, mucilage, and oat bran. Insoluble fibers do not dissolve in water. Insoluble fibers include cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.

Fruits and veggies will kill you (not literally, but you'll feel like dying) if you have to avoid fiber.  I have the same problem so i know what I'm talking about.\n\nIf you are having a hard time digesting food and have a lot of pain, try full liquids for a few days for some gut rest.  Tomato soup, cream of potato, milkshakes, smoothies all should be OK.  If you have a food processor, you can puree your fruits to make them digestible, avoid fruits with seeds like raspberries.\n\nFor a regular diet, I suggest lean fish and chicken, pasta, cooked potatoes, mac and cheese, V8 juice, etc.  until your digestive system stabilizes.\n\nDo exactly what you doctor says.  Treatments are available for these types of diseases, but you have to allow time for the meds to work.  If you have further questions, email me anytime.

Fiber first - oatmeal and other whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits.  A good start here is to go for a whole-grain bread.  \n\nIf it works for you, orange peel is one of the new extra good for you sources of fiber.\n\nReducing fat is another step you should take, especially saturated fat.  A good way to do this is to try buffalo and rabbit; also if you just love bacon or sausage, soak up as much fat as you can with paper towels after cooking.  (When I make bacon I put it between a couple of paper towels and lean on the bacon)  Also, if you like the flavor of bacon, you should try to find back bacon - all the meat, precious little of the fat.  \n\nThere are different kinds of fried foods. Throwing unbreaded meat in a pan with a little oil is a lot better for you than deep fried chicken or french fries.  \n\nOne of the traps that most people fall into when trying to change their habits is to try to change too many things at once, and feeling guilty if they start backsliding.  I recommend you read the following e-book for more successful methods of changing your dietary habits.  \n\nhttp://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/\n\nAnd note: nature abhors a vacuum.  It's easier to add something good to your diet in place of problem foods instead of just trying to avoid foods.

No.  Eating fiber rich foods like fruits and vegetables in place of low fiber foods would help you lose weight, though.  Fiber in real food helps you stay fuller longer and also keeps you regular.

Soluble fiber is very good at lowering cholesterol as it binds the bile (a digestive agent) & causes you to excrete it. The body makes more bile (to replace that which was lost - if it wasn't lost, the body tends to recycle bile) from cholesterol. You'll find soluble fiber in foods such as apples, oranges & oatmeal. \n\nInsoluble fiber is also good for your heart, so eat high fiber foods like beans & veggies. Sodium does not affect your cholesterol level, but it can affect heart health so it's best to keep it to a minimum. \n\nA little exercize, such as walking for 30 minutes 3 times a week, will also work wonders. If you eat a Whte bread, try to switch to something like Nature's Own White Wheat, which has lots of fibre. Try & drink fat-free or 1% milk instead of whole milk. A lot of little life-style changes will go a long way.

High fiber foods. Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast food.\nEat more fruits/veggies, & cut back on your meat consumption, especially red meat.\nDrink more water, & less pop & juice.\nIncrease your whole grain consumption while decreasing refined, white flour products such as white breads & confections & pastries.\nYou would do well to add two supplements to your diet.\nSpirulina is an excellent addition, and so is chromium picolinate. You can find both of these at your local health food store.\nGood luck.

Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods. How much you should eat depends on your calorie needs. Use the Food Guide Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels as handy references. \n\nEnjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Surveys show most Americans don't eat enough of these foods. Do you eat 6-11 servings from the bread, rice, cereal and pasta group, 3 of which should be whole grains? Do you eat 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 servings of vegetables? If you don't enjoy some of these at first, give them another chance. Look through cookbooks for tasty ways to prepare unfamiliar foods. \n\nMaintain a healthy weight. The weight that's right for you depends on many factors including your sex, height, age and heredity. Excess body fat increases your chances for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer and other illnesses. But being too thin can increase your risk for osteoporosis, menstrual irregularities and other health problems. If you're constantly losing and regaining weight, a registered dietitian can help you develop sensible eating habits for successful weight management. Regular exercise is also important to maintaining a healthy weight. \n\nEat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes reasonable, it's easier to eat the foods you want and stay healthy. Did you know the recommended serving of cooked meat is 3 ounces, similar in size to a deck of playing cards? A medium piece of fruit is 1 serving and a cup of pasta equals 2 servings. A pint of ice cream contains 4 servings. Refer to the Food Guide Pyramid for information on recommended serving sizes. \n\nEat regular meals. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. When you're very hungry, it's also tempting to forget about good nutrition. Snacking between meals can help curb hunger, but don't eat so much that your snack becomes an entire meal. \n\nReduce, don't eliminate certain foods. Most people eat for pleasure as well as nutrition. If your favorite foods are high in fat, salt or sugar, the key is moderating how much of these foods you eat and how often you eat them. \nIdentify major sources of these ingredients in your diet and make changes, if necessary. Adults who eat high-fat meats or whole-milk dairy products at every meal are probably eating too much fat. Use the Nutrition Facts panel on the food label to help balance your choices. \n\nChoosing skim or low-fat dairy products and lean cuts of meat such as flank steak and beef round can reduce fat intake significantly. \n\nIf you love fried chicken, however, you don't have to give it up. Just eat it less often. When dining out, share it with a friend, ask for a take-home bag or a smaller portion. \n\n\nBalance your food choices over time. Not every food has to be "perfect." When eating a food high in fat, salt or sugar, select other foods that are low in these ingredients. If you miss out on any food group one day, make up for it the next. Your food choices over several days should fit together into a healthy pattern. \n\nKnow your diet pitfalls. To improve your eating habits, you first have to know what's wrong with them. Write down everything you eat for three days. Then check your list according to the rest of these tips. Do you add a lot of butter, creamy sauces or salad dressings? Rather than eliminating these foods, just cut back your portions. Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables? If not, you may be missing out on vital nutrients. \n\nMake changes gradually. Just as there are no "superfoods" or easy answers to a healthy diet, don't expect to totally revamp your eating habits overnight

This is controversial, but I think most physicians still recommend a high fiber, low fat diet.  And if first degree relatives have had colon cancer, early screening with colonoscopy is very important.
