Bland no fiber food except boiled carrots and boiled white rice

My first flare was a long time ago but very scary !
I was put on a basic diet which I got used to . I ate a combination of boiled chicken/ turkey carrots with salty boiled rice , rice milk with cornflakes cereal , sometimes boiled potatoes sautéed with some herbs and white bread - some kind of jello and some pedalyte drink . And it helped my stomach settle down in a weeks time and then I slowly introduced other foods but stayed away from salads and any condiments or salad dressing ! Boiled eggs helped on my second week . Kept going for a month and then started to take some fresh half banana, sometimes apple juice , some fresh grape juice how ever much I could tolerate . Basically I could not tolerate any kind of acidic sauces for a long time . I introduced skim milk slowly since I loved milk - but mostly did lactose free milk .

  1. Hi . Thanks for sharing what helped you. That first flare is a scary thing. Did you end up on any meds for your IBD or have you been able to control it with diet? Wishing you the best. Richard (Team Member)
