I'm refraining from editing non-talk wiki pages until I get a few more english degrees. By the way, I almost asked whether this was a stub until I saw the notice hidden at the bottom. Perhaps this should be put into one of those big colored-background alert messages. -Kristan Wifler —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.112.51.232 ( talk) 09:12, 27 December 2006 (UTC).
Ege Cengiz? WTF? 74.72.90.179 18:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
What is Ege Cengiz? I have looked all over Wikipedia as well as the internet and cannot find it anywhere. The closest I could get is that it is Turkish, but all Turkish to English translators only come up with "file jungle" for the translation. I think if there is no easy way to find out what exactly it is, then it should not be included in the article. —Preceding

The article fails to mention why anyone would want to follow a diet like this? Fundamentisto ( talk) 20:41, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
You're not supposed to eat whole nuts or crunchy peanut butter on this diet, but it says its OK to eat oils. Does that mean you can eat smooth nut butters such as creamy peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, filbert butter, etc.? Keraunos ( talk) 14:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
The supplies included in the life rafts used by the US Navy between 1977 and 1980 included "Low Residue Food" rations. These were very much like (and probably were) jelly candies. They were made with fruit juices and coated with a granular sugar. I do not know the details of how they were to be eaten or how many each sailor was supposed to get. Low residue rations are used for the obvious reason that life rafts do not have "sanitary facilities" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.68.208 ( talk) 02:44, 13 March 2011 (UTC) { 75.42.68.208 ( talk) 02:51, 13 March 2011 (UTC)}
What are the best fruits, vegetables or source of vitamins on a low residue diet? In my opinion its grapes, its very low in fiber, great source of soft vitamin C and very low in vitamin A. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forthesimpleandpureliving ( talk • contribs) 07:58, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you (I haven't figured out adding citations yet), Wordreader ( talk) 04:32, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
I started editing this article to clean up the references after being on a low-fiber diet following abdominal surgery. I also followed the various recommendations in the original article, including abstaining from chocolate, in addition to those from the diet given with my discharge instructions. Later my doctor was amused that I trusted wikipedia on this (especially with the "medical citatiion needed" right by the restriction on chocolate!) and there was no limit on chocolate in diet actually recommended to me. That diet was in fact from what I now consider to be the most authoritative source, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
While reading various review articles, I discovered a few important things that motivated me to completely re-write the article:
I tried to reflect these problems in the section on guidelines, with the consensus, broad-brush items summarized in the table, and the details in variations below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngriffeth ( talk • contribs) 13:28, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
