A friend came to visit me over the long weekend and informed me that she had Colitis. She could not eat anything with Fibre. We live on fibre. I asked her how she copes? Very difficult as even Doctor cannot help her with recipes and what to avoid, etc. Does anyone know of a site or any delish recipes that I can send her. Thanks!
