“I think I would very much like to increase my fiber intake in the form of soup made of tolerated vegetables. I think soup will be much more easily digested than some other ways of increasing fiber and maybe cause me less problems, I hope.”

“I’m Italian, so that’s a major problem with Type II! I can’t go very long without a dish of pasta. Does anyone have a REAL suggestion for a substitute? Or am I going to have to tempt the fates once a month or so and have a dish of pasta? I tried spaghetti squash. It was like eating shoelaces!”
