Could you make it with sweet potato (or 50/50) @Shaz51

yes  but did not do it tonight @Former-Member  as no sweet potato

[Adge]

My diet has always been high in vegies (high fibre), & low in everything else.

Because I've been vegetarian for 30 years.

However, high fibre (vegies) could have caused my bowel tumor (& complete obstruction) - that almost cost me my life in November 2014 (immediate emergency surgery).

The surgeon said that stuck food may have caused the tumor & bowel obstruction.

Yes @Adge  my mum has reoccuring bowel obstruction.and has to have a very low fibre diet

[Ali11]

Scary stuff @Adge! The stories usually imply meat is to blame for most bowel issues, so it's interesting to hear about the high fibre effects  

[Adge]

Well there wasn't any meat (in my case), to cause the problems @Ali11

Because I haven't eaten meat for about 30 years.

So we cannot pin the blame on meat this time....
