Gracie, the Mayo Clinic says to eat a high fiber diet if you have that condition.

No veggies, that appears to be a myth, in fact the opposite is true, veggies are high fiber. Here is list of veggies high in fiber from Mayo

Oh and seeds & nuts, Mayo says there is no scientific evidence of that.

Villages Pl is on point I think, do you agree Gracie?

It also said no popcorn

On another note and please just take this as an observation, but you said

I always try not to give advise or opinions without supporting evidence.
