Hi Ladies.
I was just wondering if Dates or prunes are IC friendly? I am having issues with constipation and was taking miralax which was working good, but I broke out in hives so I guess I am allergic to it ( no suprise there, I seem to be allergic to everything lately). Anyhow, I am also on a gluten free diet, so I cannot eat any wheat, bran, oats , barley etc...., so that cuts out alot of stuff that is good for the bowels. I also have motility issues of the gut and cannot eat high fiber vegis, like broccoli or salad as I cannot digest them. I can only eat very soft cooked vegis, like carrots, green beans , but they have to be real soft.
I use to drink papaya juice and that helped with my bowels alot and also prune juice, but since I got IC, I have avoided these as they tend to aggravate it. Is there are safe fruits that are good for the bowels( i.e. prunes, or dates)??? I know these are high in potassium and that is bad for IC. I just dont know what else to do. It is really hard when you cannot stomach most foods. Any suggestions? Thanks.
