A low-residue diet is one that’s low in specific foods that add residue to the stool. Many individuals with small-bowel Crohn’s disease have a narrowing or stricture of the lower small intestine (the ileum). For them, a low-fiber with low-residue diet can help lessen abdominal pain, cramping, and diarrhea. And while scientific proof is lacking, this diet may also help decrease frequency of bowel movements for some people.
