My boyfriend has been told to follow a bland diet after going to hospital on two occasions?

with griping stomach pains, I have been on various websites and have found them to be quite conflicting, one website says that he can eat certain food's and another one say's to avoid them. We live in Spain and to be honest he has never followed a healthy diet, hates fruit, veg, salad's, fish unless it's white fish and smothered in vinegar and definitely NO BONES! Gallon's of coca cola, chocolate, biscuits, etc.etc. Rubbish basically, the only good thing is that he never touches alcohol and doesn't smoke. He likes all his food ( steak, chicken ) to be in a sauce. I think I am going to find it difficult to plan the menu's as it all sounds very boring, and it sounds like we will never eat out ever again, and I love my food and the mediterranean diet. HELP!My boyfriend has been told to follow a bland diet after going to hospital on two occasions?
Hi, has he got diverticulitis? This is caused by things such as pips getting lodged in small folds in the bowel tract and not passing through. When this happens a large infection creates a blockage in the bowel tract stopping removal of body waste. I eat a portion of bran flakes each morning with 2 slices of toast. This is the roughage he needs to basically scrape the tract clean. He needs to keep his bowels regular. If he has tomatoes he must remove the pips as a precaution. As long as he follows this he can eat most anything you prepare for him. I have been hospitalised 3 times now, trying to avoid the surgery that removes a portion of the bowel tract. Good luck
