I eat apples, pears, sweet potatoes and baked potato mostly for constipation which is new for me as before I had many bowels movements. Have had a j pouch for many years and so afraid to eat any of the above with skin. Also does anyone with a j pouch eat canned or bottled beats as asparagus.
Thanks so much

Asparagus is one of the only green veggies that I can handle easily, although I never eat a bunch. Skins can still be an irritant but I don't find any real trouble with them. I also eat beats but very few as I do find them to be a bit of a laxative.
Good luck!
Thank you so much
I don't care for beets, but I love Asparagus. I don't normally peel my fruits or vegetables, unless I'm serving mashed potatoes. I do take Beano with my vegetables because they cause to much gas without, but otherwise I can tolerate them just fine as long as I'm careful how much I eat.
You have a j pouch and eat apples, pears ,sweet potatoes and all with skin on them with a J pouch and have no problems at all? Thank you.
Yes, I really do. Remember though that portion counts! Start small with one serving of one item at a time and see what happens. Best wishes to you
Thank you so much, I will try as you say very small portions, it seems most do eat it with skin on. I have always been afraid to try.
I do not eat skins @all. Never had constipation yet. I love white & sweet potatoes peeled. Fruits & vegetables I eat sporadically & peel most. It may sound crazy & time consuming but that's me.🥴
Thank you
