Suggest Diet That Can Be Taken When Suffering From Fistula In Small Intestine

Hi My Father has a fistula in his small intestine from having having multiple stomach surgeries. His last surgery was from having rectal cancer. Having surgery to help with the fistula is not doable, it will only make more complications. Could you please send me a list of foods that can help and not agitate his fistula.
Thank you,
Kathy
