    Has anyOne with a bowel anastamosis between small and large bowel had success on the clever guts diet. Due to recurrent obstructions I have been advised to be on a low fibre diet. Which has not resolved ongoing diarrhoea, therefore wanting to try clever guts. With all good gut bacteria diets there are hard things fibre fruits veges, nuts, seeds, salads, and I don’t have these as advised by Dietician.

    Did the dietician distinguish between soluble and insoluble fibres? Are you able to have more whole plant foods in the form of blended soups and smoothies?

    Do you eat a really wide variety of nutrient dense animal foods (oily fish/ other seafood/ organ meats/ whole organic eggs/ traditional aged cheeses/ other fermented dairy)?

    If you have not consulted a registered dietician recently, it might be worth doing so with a copy of the Clever Guts book and your detailed food and symptom diary. There are prebiotics that aren’t also fibres, but that might well involve supplements rather than wholefoods. Given your history, it would be safest to supplement only under medical supervision.
