Eating with ulcerative colitis should be based on a well-balanced diet that's high in protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, and good fats. Such a diet will provide you with energy and keep you well.Drink lots of fluid (8 - 10 servings daily) to keep body hydrated and prevent constipation.Try small frequent meals.
If you find that certain foods trigger your bowel symptoms, then you may want to avoid these foods to reduce your symptoms and self-manage your illness
There are a number of foods, which are best avoided during a flare up of Ulcerative Colitis - or when Colitis is active (i.e. blood or mucous in the stools). These are mainly foods that either include a high amount of insoluble fiber - or very high amounts of dairy fats-
Cabbage/sprouts
Cauliflower
Mushrooms
High Bran fiber items - such as whole meal bread, and high fiber cereal
Tomatoes - especially the seeds
Soya Protein
Onions - Especially raw onions
caffeine, alcohol and sorbitol.
