What is the ‘residue’ in a low residue diet?
Being a science major I thought for sure 'residue' was implying some sort of metabolic by-product produced by certain foods that would upset the lining of my colon. Nope... the residue is simply the poop mass. Not very technical at all. And therefore the diet is geared around reducing the amount of poop that is … Continue reading What is the ‘residue’ in a low residue diet?

BUT I caution you that … Continue reading Edamame and Mung Bean Fettuccine with Pesto Sauce (Endo)
Easy Meaty tomato sauce (Endo/UC)
There are tons of substitutes for pasta dishes using eggplant, zucchini or gluten-free pasta. But what makes a meaty pasta dish divine is the sauce.

Slightly curried meatless french lentils (Endo)
I took a spin on french lentils and added some curry powder for taste. Sometimes I add sausage to this dish but not always. This is a great endo-friendly meal. Not sure this will jive well for UC as I know lentils would kill me right now. To make this dish all you need are … Continue reading Slightly curried meatless french lentils (Endo)
