Hi Smiles, love the name, I usually wait about a 1/2 an hour after I eat a soluble food.
Also because I also have Divert, and IBS, the soluble food then has the time to collect all the water from my colon (my system is slow).
It also depends on your issues, you probably Don't have to wait that long. Sometimes I don't take that long and it's OK.
It can also depend on what I have eaten the night before or if it's still in me. Lately I can only have a BM in the morning,after breakfast, sometimes I go once or twice.
When I see my Gastrologist,at my next appointment, I will discuss it with her.
Of course it has Been a while since this post and unfortunately there has been a Little setback, will figure it out when my doctor look's at me down there..:roll:,Oh well.
1.Morning, Oatmeal with ground flax (regular kind) with chopped/diced apple (about 1/4), few raisins and or prunes.
2.Lunch;it could be a combination or one, sweet potato, turnip and parsnip mash.Then I follow with steamed/sauteed Kale or mashed/cooked kidney beans. Since fish is more digestible, I usually eat together or combine it.(I can eat chicken too)
3. Dinner can be similar, or depends on how I feel. My dinner is early if I can or my lunch mite be later. This also depends on how much I eat for lunch.
Even I have problem's sometimes, a few day's ago I had a Dinner of Turnips with carrots, cooked well, then followed with Quinoa, I added black eyed peas.
Unfortunately, I either added to much, bean's to the quinoa, didn"t mash them or even the quinoa could of bulked me up or slowed me down.
I think it is all out of me, through trial and error, we learn to find what works for each of us, Please do read every ones post's, this forum has been a g-d send.
Take care and heal fast..:)
