Does anyone have trouble with beans causing gas and cramping when you are flaring?

I should clarify. I was wondering about split pea soup

i just recently had split pea soup that killed me the next day. and i'm not even flaring.
but it also gave my healthy husband some terrible gas so we suspect the peas may have been too old or something.

either way, during a flare i try to avoid beans and high fiber stuff like uncooked veggies. they are just harder to digest.

I love it, but it doesn't love me, for as long as I can remember.

Beans, split peas are all in the legume family. One of their less lovable traits is that, because they're so high in fiber, they cause more gas, and can be painful to us when we're in a flare. I just finally started eating them again after my first year in remission. I love them, but they just hurt me too much.

Beano before you eat will help with the gas, but I still suggest staying away from this group of foods when in a flare.

They'll give most people gas and probably discomfort.

Choose to eat it for supper and not lunch.

Split pea soup....yummmm, but I don't have legumes in bulk too often because of the specific and painful type of discomfort.

Do take the suggestion to use a digestive enzyme.

It won't hurt your UC, but if you have a lot of rectal gas, it might exacerbate a hemorrhoid.

Thanks for the input. I am still trying to figure out what to eat.

Are you on any meds at this time?

What do you normally eat in a day?

Where in the colon is your UC...throughout or limited?

Seems it would be in order....you have to eat or become malnourished. Let us know the outcome.
