[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1497625, member: 160898"] Thanks [USER=406622]@Odin004[/USER] I suspect the op is a non-starter, but the surgeon is requesting another CT scan for more info. (I've had that many, the hospital could produce a 3D map like Alexander Armstrong's Italy's Invisible Cities programme if you've seen that!) Ultimately, I've been told I will probably lose my stomach and duodenum as they've been wrecked by pancreatitis. This low residue diet is just to reduce fibre and hence irritation on my stomach and intestines. As you say, it doesn't address anything else, hence I need to talk to a dietitian (luckily I have one on hand, though she specialises in neonatal and children). I aim for 100g carbs a day to help my BG, but some days I'll eat 150g). This also tends to minimise my hypos (less insulin on board when I get a blockage) and my Libre also gives me warning, often enough time to avoid the potential hypo. I was dropping down to 2.2 on a full stomach at one point. Previously I've been advised to boost the fat content of my diet specifically to gain weight (and given contradictory advice to minimise fat to ease the pancreatitis!). I'm probably not the best person to ask, being a T3c with malabsorption and digestion problems. (I've been admitted to hospital for malnutrition in the past.) [/QUOTE]
