Low Fiber Diet

A low fiber diet can help give your digestive system a break. Fiber, while it usually has health benefits, takes more effort for your body to digest.

Your doctor might recommend trying this diet for a short time if you have one of the following:

IBS
Crohn’s disease
ulcerative colitis
diverticulitis
diarrhea
abdominal cramps
constipation
irritation or damage in the digestive tract
bowel narrowing caused by a tumor
recovery from gastrointestinal surgery, including colostomy and ileostomy
current radiation therapy or other treatments that might affect the gastrointestinal tract
