    The low residue diet is prescribed to help heal the colon and prepare for procedures by limiting fiber and fat intake. It restricts high fiber foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans and most raw vegetables while allowing soft, cooked vegetables and fruits without skin or seeds. Milk products should be limited or avoided if lactose intolerant. Nutritional supplements can provide additional calories and protein if needed while following the low residue guidelines.
