What to eat while in a bad flare

I have a flare right now and by flare I dont mean a little discomfort, I have diahrea all day, go all morning except I have lost my appetite and lost a lot of weight.  I have to go to work but find that I only last a few hours there until the diahrea pills (lomatil) start to ware off.  I don't eat in the morning, drink very little during the day and when I get home in the afternoon, I drink fluids like gatorade and eat dinner with my wife, but I dont know what to eat.  I have been eating soups and thats about it.  chicken broth with rice, maybe some cooked shreded chicken.

Its hard to tell if Im bleeding because I am taking 6 asacol HD each day and think that creates a tint that can mask my diahrea to look a little like blood. 

What can you suggest to eat?

When I am flaring, I eat a lot of soups but I also tend to eat some toast with jam and nut butter. A lot of people don't tolerate nuts well when they are flaring but for me, I think the less I eat, the better I am able to function. Toast with peanut butter can sustain me for quite a while, it's light and won't make me go 10x.

Bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast (BRAT diet for diarrhea) Thats all I eat when I go more than 4 times a day.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that - plus lots of h2o -

i blend seedless fruit together and add yogurt and whey protein and drink as a smoothie.

but, sometimes i give up and just eat whatever is appetizing for dinner and endure the more severe symptoms. i figure if my body is craving it, i must be missing that nutrient.

of course i stay away from tomatoes, alcohol, grease, spicy or spiced, etc... FLARING 101 haha.
