Have Chron's with stricturing and anything more than a quarter cup of corn, popcorn, pineapple or leafy greens would bring me to my knees in about 5-8 hours. Nuts are a little hit or miss, I need to chew them up really well and not eat them on an empty stomach and I'm good for a few handfuls.

I tell people that if it looks the same coming out as it goes in, I can't have that banging around my guts.

Any fast or junk foods are totally fine since they're mostly low fiber, but high fiber foods are mostly okay, too.

Due to my strictures and the nightmare stories I've read from people online, I specifically eat foods that are mushy or smoothies and soups. Basically, I'm pre-digesting the foods before they're eaten so they're easier to pass through a narrowing intestional wall and it has worked well for years now. Only time I've had issues are when I eat too quickly, too much at once or have one of my problem foods.

I'm also on a biologic, which made all the difference after being untreated for about 6 months, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I wonder if that's something I should do. I noticed once or twice if I ate something with pumpkin puree in it, the next day my bowels were heavenly.

Do you have a different reaction to soluble vs insoluble fiber?

No real difference for me. It mostly comes down to quantity, speed and how much it’s broken down by chewing, cooking or blending.
