A low residue diet (also known as a low fibre diet) is often used during inflammatory bowel disease flares, for recovery after bowel surgery or when your gut feels more sensitive. It focuses on reducing fibre and certain foods that can increase bowel movements, irritation or discomfort.

This looks like choosing options that are easy to digest and lower in fibre. It is not meant for long-term use, but rather as a tool to help your gut settle before you gradually reintroduce fibre and variety again.

So how can you best adopt a low-residue diet
- Avoid wholegrain, high fibre breads and cereals - use white varieties where possible
- Remove stalks, stems, pips, seeds and skins from fruit and vegetables
- Avoid dried fruits, nuts and seeds
- Strain pulp from fruit/vegetable juices and soups
- Check the nutrition label on packaged foods - aim for fibre to be less than 3g per 100g

Save this post to help you understand which foods to focus on and avoid when on a low-residue diet!!

Food allergies and food intolerances are often used interchangeably, but they’re actually very different

A food allergy involves the immune system and can cause rapid, sometimes even severe reactions to certain foods.

A food intolerance, on the other hand, is more related to digestion. It can still be uncomfortable (think bloating, gas, stomach pain), but it’s not life-threatening and often depends on how much you’ve eaten.

Understanding the difference matters. Not every reaction to food means you need to cut it out completely, and not every symptom should be ignored.

If food is making you feel “off,” getting the right support from a dietitian can help you figure out what’s actually going on, without that unnecessary restriction.

Nutrition labels can feel overwhelming, but once you know what to look for, they become a tool you can use to inform your nutrition choices.

A few quick tips:

Use the per 100g column to compare two different products

Keep an eye on sugar, saturated fat and sodium (salt)

Choose high fibre grain products to promote satiety and good gut health!

Keep in mind the bigger picture - no product will tick all the boxes perfectly. Focus on what matters for you and your long term health goals

Nutritionist vs Dietitian… what’s the difference? 👀

Here’s a quick breakdown ⬇️

👩‍⚕️ Dietitian
✔️ University-qualified (Accredited Practising Dietitian)
✔️ Regulated profession in Australia
✔️ Can provide medical nutrition therapy (e.g. chronic conditions, NDIS supports)
✔️ Evidence-based, clinical expertise

🥗 Nutritionist
✔️ Can have varying levels of study (not always regulated)
✔️ Focus on general health, wellbeing & lifestyle advice
✔️ Not qualified to treat medical conditions

Knowing the difference helps you choose the right support for your needs 💚

😅Sick of gels? You’ve got options.

Gels aren’t the only way to fuel your training or race! There are plenty of real food alternatives!

The key is to:
✔️ Calculate how many carbs you need per hour
✔️ You can use a mix of sports drinks / carb fluids (like Powerade)
✔️ Practice, practice, practice - your gut may need time to get used to whole food options (gut training!)

Fueling isn’t one-size-fits-all, find what works for you!

Looking to add some more plants into your week? Try out this felafel style bowl:

Blend 2 cans of chickpeas with 1 red onion, garlic, mint, coriander, cumin, and ½ cup of plain flour. Form into patties and oven bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, flip, & bake for another 10 or until golden.

Enjoy with a greek-style lentil salad & hummus!
