Ulcerative Colitis Cookbook - E-book - ePub

Ulcerative Coilitis is a chronic condition. The goal of treatment is to reduce the inflammation that causes your symptoms so you can prevent flare-ups and have longer periods of remission. There's no specific diet for UC. Each person reacts to food and drink differently. However, a few general rules may be helpful for people trying to avoid a flare-up:Eat a low fat diet: It's not clear why a low fat diet is beneficial, but it's known that foods high in fat commonly cause diarrhea, especially in those with IBD.
Eating more low fat foods may delay flares. When you do eat fat, pick healthier options like olive oil and omega-3 fatty acids. Take in more vitamin C:This vitamin may have a protective effect on your intestines and help them heal or recover faster after a flare. People who eat diets rich in vitamin C have prolonged periods of UC remission. Vitamin C-rich foods include parsley, bell peppers, spinach, and berries.
Eat more fiber: During a flare, bulky, slow-moving fiber is the last thing you want in your intestines. During remission, however, fiber can help you stay regular. It may also improve how easily you can void during bowel movements. Scroll up, click on ''Buy Now with 1-click'', and Get your Copy Now
