Usually your told to stay away from things like pasta and rice at this stage because they can enlarge in your stoma -

Actually soft pasta was on my dieticians recommended food list for the mushie stage and I had no problems with it whatsoever. I definetly think its worth trying.
In the troubleshooting guide it suggested cutting long pasta into short lengths or using shells/spirals instead.
I think the problem with bread and rice is not so much that they enlarge but they can clump together and form a big ball, White rice tends to do this more than long grain varieties.
I also think that these problems tend to occur more as you get more restriction but I could be wrong.
I was told things needed to be able to go through a straw for my initial 2 week liquids stage , not for mushies.
Just shows how much the recommendations differ fron Dr to Dr
