Food triggers with UC

Which, if any, foods cause you the most trouble with Ulcerative Colitis?

  1. Of course diet is very personalized, but there were a few things that really bothered me when I had active UC before my colectomy. I was unable to tolerate red meat often, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, & popcorn just to name a few.

    1. I totally avoid broccoli, brussel sprouts, potatoes, popcorn, nuts, caffeine, dairy, and meat (besides fish). Pork really messes with me.

      I try to eat correct portions and hit all my macros. For example, for lunch I had fish, lima beans, and gluten free pasta. My meals arent always the most fun, but I feel fine eating it!

      1. When in a flare - any veggies.
