Hi - This is going to vary a bit from person to person, but what will typically matter even more is how carefully you eat the insoluble fiber foods. Start off with totally blending the foods - fruit into smoothies, and cooked veggies into soups or pasta sauces. No matter what insoluble fiber foods you choose for this, if they're completely pureed they should be very safe - especially with a soluble fiber foundation.

When I make that smoothie, how 'bout if I throw in a little soy protein? GeniSoy is what I used to use in the days when I made smoothies with yogurt; the ingredients seem safe, but I'm checkin' with the pros first! Whatchathimk? Bev

No problem - I often do that. I make them with a little soy milk, too, so everything blends up easily.

Heather-just to let you know. I've been on your diet for two days, and I'm feeling much better already. I read what you said, but even though I love beans, they are really making me nervous. As long as I am stable, do they honestly not increase the diarrhea? And since my symptoms also include a lot of gas, do you suggest I take the Beano before trying any? Thanks so much! Amy

I would also like to know-where do tomatoes fall into this equation? You have recipes for salsa that call for raw tomatoes. But since I'm just starting out, shouldn't all the veggies be cooked? Is a simple cooked tomato sauce OK with past then-one that I could blend some veggies into?
