    Is chicken okay on a diet for mega colon?

    Hi, After reading advice on here and other forums, I'm switching to a wet food only (grain-free), low fiber diet for my cat once he is healthy enough.  Is chicken generally considered okay for a mega colon diet?  I'm referring to the boneless, skinless, kind you bake in the oven.  Thanks!
