Curious question as my lovely hubby has intestinal issues we are still figuring out. Wouldn't the lack of fibrous items make the bread stuffing more likely to stick in the colon?

It depends on what issues, we are concerned with the pockets that form in the colon so seeds, nuts berries, celery are not good but never heard of bread but would defintely talk to your doctor before you go further with him eating anything you might be concerned about. Good luck and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

celery leaves have a ton of flavor. cook them in your broth and then fish 'em out. or chop fine and mix in. i like stuffing to cross back and forth between sweet and savory. but if you're dealing with diverticulitis you're right to be very careful. you can get some big flavors with the celery leaves, onions, tart apples, and if you have time put a few slices of fresh ginger in 1/2 cup white wine in the fridge for a few days and then use the flavored wine, too. i'm thinking a sage stuffing here rather than a cornbread.

Saute 10 oz sliced mushrooms and 1 large onion chopped in 2-3 tbsp olive oil until onion is translucent. Season with thyme or sage, salt and pepper and let cool. (you can chop the mushrooms/onions finely if you want)
Cube 1 loaf of firm sandwich bread (I like Arnold Country White) and place in large bowl. Add cooled mushroom/onion mixture, 2 lightly beaten eggs and about 1/2 cup of chicken or turkey stock. Toss and add more stock as needed, add a little more sage/salt/pepper.
If baking outside the bird then make the stuffing a little wetter and use a little more seasoning.

i suggest still using the celery and onions but saute them first , then puree and put thru a chinois (fine strainer). You will get the flavor at least...no crunch but at least the flavor. Maybe an oyster stuffing and treat the vegetables as I mentioned - may need less moisture somewhere else in the recipe
