Do you eat pasta while on a flare?

My pesonal opnion is no. fresh fruit juices for me is what i do. then fresh fruit all day. Im still experimenting though. if your going to have it better have gluten free. gluten tends to not help gut situations of any kind.

For me, my doctor always recommended pasta.

I just came through a flare and did not change my diet and continued to eat pasta throughout. In remission again now.

i could be totally wrong but for my personally what i eat and drink has no affect on me one way or another...my dr says this is the case for most people...

I think pasta can be gentle on your digestion in moderation while flaring.
good luck.

I notice myself going to the bathroom and also some cramping when I have spaghetti. It's awful because spaghetti is my favorite food. If you notice something not right with your system when you digest it, please please don't eat it. It's not worth it if it makes you sick.

Please Please. No Pasta. I promis if you are having urgecy the fresh fruit will help. As long as you eat it on its own on an empty stomach. Im not perfect but there is no urgecey in me. I promis it will help. if you really dont want the fruit then just dont eat the carbs. You do need carbs in your diet but at least for 2 days.

But does anyone eat them on their own? thats my only question. its just I used to think that as well then suddenly i tryed this raw foods thing and they were not making me go to the loo all the time. the only thing i had to change was eating fruit on its own and not eating complex carbohydrates. Im only wondering if people think its the furit when really its the combination of fruit and carbohydrate. Im thinking this as i eat masses of furit and have not had the laxitive effects that i thought it would. whats your opinion.

I think this is the case for some people, not most people. I found that doctors don't want to listen to patients when it comes to things like diet, which is why my GI has no idea how large of a role food plays in my flares. He just isn't interested in hearing about it; so I don't talk about it.

y doctor prescribed mashed potatoes, white rice, pasta and mashed bananas.  I ate all three and cleared up the flare fine.   I even used a little light soy sauce on the rice and homemade alfredo sauce (without the garlic) on the pasta.  As long as I kept the sauces light and mild, I got along well. 

 

I know someone who got flares some 20 years ago. She became a vegetarian and has never had a flare since.

I also have cut down on my meat, just fish and chicken, and not every day.

I ate a lot of pasta when I was flaring, simply because it didn't hurt when it came back out, like someone else said. When I'd eat stuff that wasn't easily digestable (like fruits or veggies that weren't really well cooked), it came out in chunks, and that just didn't feel good. Maybe it was a mental thing, but I don't like seeing identifiable pieces of food in my poop. (Well, on the occasion that I eat corn on the cob, it's ok, b/c I know that happens to just about everyone! This bothered me because it wasn't normal)

Kitty, your diet is pretty extreme, and there are a lot of people who just won't want to try it...I know I wouldn't! I'm glad you've found something that helped you, but please remember that a lot of people have also been helped by conventional meds. I definitely have as I don't have any UC symptoms right now. And even though most of the people on the forum are having problems with conventional meds, I think that that's why they're here...meds don't work for them and they're looking for other options.
