the ingredient I did not know was guar gum so I looked it up the bit that worried me is where it says; Guar Gum has almost 8 times the thickening power as corn starch. Sounds like it makes it harder to digest but I am not sure about that. I checked what I eat and there is no guar gum I wonder if it was that! anyone else have any comments

Guar Gum is derived from the ground endosperm of Cyamopsis Tetragonolobus, a plant of the Leguminosae family. The plant grows to about 1-2 metres high with vertical stalks. The Guar seed pods, about 15 cm long, grow on these stalks and hold 6-9 seeds which are about 2-3 mm in diameter. Roughly, 14-16% of the Guar seed is the hull, 38-45% is the endosperm and 40-46% germ. "Guar" crop is sown after the first rains in June/July and is harvested after 3-4 months.It is a hardy, drought resistant crop that requiresmoderate rainfall at regular intervals.

Guar ( also called guaran), is primarily the ground endosperm of Guar beans.The Guar seeds are dehusked, milled and screened to obtain the guar gum. It is typically produced as a free flowing, pale, off-white colored, coarse to fine ground powder. Guar gum powder

is used as a thickener and emulsifier in commercial food processing and with Fracture Fluids in Mining Industry. Guar Gum has almost 8 times the thickening power as corn starch.

Msm you might be like some poeple who can't tolerate fibers.
It sounds strange to some cause digesting fast food better well... is against everyones law no?

But that's how your body is. Eventually you might need some fibers at some point but i would go verry veryyy slowly an a week at a time. If you have barely zero grams of fibers on a daily diet and goes to 10 for exemple its too much. Usually around 25gr is a regular amount of fiber intake for a normal person.

Then again we have UC and sometimes it can sound strange and unlogic.
I saw a great nutritionnist a few years ago and it helped a lot. She knew and informed herself of UC and really she didnt dictact me what to eat but gave me option. However she always preached by 1: eat only when you are hungry and stop when you arent anymore and 2: your body will tell you whats best for you.

Definatly go slow on fibers... maybe start with like a teaspoon or table spoon of cooked apple or anything you can digest for like a week.. then increase a little.

But then again a good nutritionnist can help.

Hmm. If you can tolerate dairy and need an on the go breakfast I suggest fruit and yogurt or milk/choco milk.

I've never had an issue with oatmeal, but I get sudden, violent and enthusiastic poops whenever I eat lentils, even in remission...terrible because I LOVE lentils. You say your diet is low fiber, maybe you should increase your intake gradually.

I love porridge and it's one of my favourite 'safe' breakfast foods, but too much / certain types of sugar affects my colitis. I eat home rolled oats with a little maple syrup without issue, but appreciate tolerance may vary. That said I'd probably look at the sugars / additives in the first instance.
