Doctor recommend a low residue diet to those patients who are suffering with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flares, bowel surgery, colonoscopy prep, and for patients with infectious colitis/ acute diverticulitis.
Some foods like Leafy greens, milk products, whole grains, and such other foods contains undigested parts (residue). A low-residue diets that are especially high in fiber, in order to reduce stool. This allows the digestive system to rest, as bowel movements will become smaller and less frequent.

Benefits Low-Residue Diet?
Foods that are rich in fiber, especially “roughage,” leave behind some plant particles in your colon that difficult ti be digested. This undigested matter mostly available in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, although dairy products can also leave residue behind.
These residue normally don’t present a problem. These residue thus helps keep stools bulky and moving through the intestines. However, when your bowel needs to be slowed down to allow for healing—for example, if you are facing digestive disorder such as diverticulitis or experience bowel-related complications from any treatment—adjusting your diet is the primary solution.
