The strange thing is that certain foods bother some people, and other folks are not bothered by the same foods. One of the things I find that I have to avoid is raw cabbage such as in cole slaw. Even with the best diet it is sometimes difficult to keep from getting an infection. It can be a very painful situation, can sometimes lead to a perforation as well. Sometimes it becomes necessary to surgically remove the bad section of bowel. Hubby had to have 18 inches removed about 3 yrs ago. Not fun at all, I promise you.
