On June 12 Traci music is harder wrote about her stress. She says to "grab foods that tame your colitis or Crohn's dragon." What foods does she recommend? Lately I just don't know what they might be. I am ready to live on rice & toast.

Hi . I'm tagging so that she can offer her thoughts. I will note that go-to foods can differ for each individual. For example, Traci wrote this article on nachos being her comfort food, even though she knows others may find this odd: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/football-food. Hopefully others will chime in with their thoughts and I also recommend using the search function at the top left to look for "comfort food" to see what some others note. Best, Richard (Team Member)

Hi , in addition to the information Richard shared, I wanted to link a couple of articles. This one was written by our advocate, Kelly, with some of her tips on food and inflammatory bowel disease, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/nutrition/when-food-is-enemy, and this one, Jenna wrote about the foods that she turns to when she doesn't feel like eating at all, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/feel-like-eating-nothing. I'm hoping these articles (in addition to the information from Richard), can give you a starting point. I know a lot of community members here can relate to your feelings, and hopefully some of them can chime in and share the foods they find helpful. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
