Foods: Types of should NOT consume and foods to consume

what  are some food that absolute NO NO's to consume and some examples. And what are some food that will help provide maybe some instant relief, i personally am terrible with diet and monitoring what i eat and i feel that if im more educated on what i feed myself it will help with my uc.

thank you, i can never pin point exactly what causes a flare for me or when im already in flare because i eat so liberally. what about foods that are typically helpful?

the No list i've made after 1 and a half year of intestive testing. with this diet i've acchieved remission in 1 year.

no fruits (all !!! except green grapes & berries)
no honey (maybe 1 tablespoon per day)
no sugar
no artificial sweetners.
no bananas
no coffee
no nuts
no beer
no alcool (except red dry wine)
no cucumbers
no grains.
no rice.
no diary (except cheddar, dry cottage cheese and Schweizer)
NO STARCH.
no beef meat.
no eggwhite
no tomatoes.

the yes list:
chicken
turkey
fish
pork (in small qtties)
pimientos
carrots
beetroot
celery root
eggs (without white)

hope it helps for those who read.

Interesting post. I had a food sensitivity test done and found moderate sensitivity to Bananas, egg whites, and yogart.  Low sensitivty to Kidney beans, gluten, wheat.

I also research the acuracy of such tests and it's divided. Some say you can't test this becasue when they do they don't use partically digested food.  Once the food goes through your stomach and small intestant it changes dramatically and everyone processed food wil be different. Instead they use the proteins from undigested foods.

Experimental is best...for now I' avoiding the moderate foods and trying a gluten-free ad dairy-free diet.  I really miss my eggs though!  They'reeasy to digest and you get some good protien from them ...plus there's eggs in everything.  I'm just avoiding the "naked egg".  We'll see what happens!

yesssss this is what im looking for, i cant thank everyone enough. i feel like this can help everyone if we get more input. :)

i think dairy might cause some irritation for me but im not certain, i havent noticed if alcohol does, but ill pay more attention to it.

yea i agree, i think since ive always been able to eat whatever i want its tough sometimes. this is defintely a wakeup call.

I'm another who isn't affected by food. When I'm flaring, spicy, fatty and fibrous foods will be painful; when I'm in remission I eat everything in moderation. My flare/remission status is completely unaffected by food.

The only way to tell if there are foods you personally can't tolerate is to keep a food diary. It isn't quick, but it is effective.

just want to reiterate how great the food diary is, and sympathize with fellow diary-keepers... it's so hard to keep up with, especially since sensitivities and tolerances can totally change!

wizfan, many people also have good luck with an elimination diet. you can read about "low residue diets" and start with that. most people find that those diets are incredibly gentle on the gut. then you can slowly start to add in foods one at a time and see how they work with you.

keep in mind when we say one at a time... we really mean it! even the basic building blocks of food could affect you. for example, i can do regular ol' table black pepper... but red pepper flakes are a NO NO! figured that out by doing one-at-a-time with my spice cabinet. i can do bacon... but not cured lunch meats like salami! they seem so similar, but they sit very differently for me.

if you're interested in finding out how alcohol treats you, a word of advice: don't mix and match alcohols. if you want to have a drink, try having one gin drink, then see how that goes. or one beer, and see how that goes (though beer tends to be more harsh for more UC sufferers... i definitely avoid it when i'm in a flare). for example, i've found that i can drink any clear liquor quite easily, but brown liquors are hell on my gut. and i almost never have more than 2 drinks in an evening anymore... it's too "stimulating" to the gut :P

anyway good luck, let us know what you find out.
