Detailed Answer:
Hi Bxxxxxxxx9,
Thanks for using Health care magic for your health concern.
HHT is a rare genetic disorder which causes abnormal blood vessels in skin &mucus membrane..in your case it seems to be mucus membrane of gastrointestinal tract.
* In such condition you should take low roughage diet apart from routine check ups of gastrointestinal affections to avoid - ..infection/infestations or food allergies.. which can aggravate blood supply to GIT mucus membrane &increase leaking of blood.(regular check up of Hb% & stools exam for blood in it..)
-Iron suppliment,needful blood transfusions or surgrleries form the treatment strategy (to be decided by treating doctor)
* About less abrasive diet -Though you are taking less abrasive/low roughage diet.. be careful to avoid malnutrition ... it must contain (or supplimented by)..
sufficient carbohydrates as energy supplier (refined hot cerels, boiled white rice,pancakes /waffles of refined flour)
Proteins to support body maintainance..............(restricted milk or dairy products... excessive may cause upset in digestion)/tender meat,fish...( rich in vitamins&omega 3 fatty acids)
Vitamins in form of nicely cooked vegetables /fruits..where fibers are converted in digestible form/clear fruit juices/veg. soups)added with curds/lactobacillus suppliments in liquid form
*drinking sufficient (plain&potable) water is essential.
*Low roughage diet may cause constipatuon (because of lack of fibers)...regular exercises...yoga exercises for abdomen &walking....& sufficient water would help regular bowel movements.
Addition of mild stool softner with advise of treating doctor may be taken as per need.
