I've been in a flare up for the past month or so with blood, mucous, and urgency. The doctor put me on a steriod (not sure of the exact name but it's not predisone). I am also on Humira and Lialda. I only take half of the recommended dosage because it usually makes me throw up. Anyway, due to having the flare, what foods should I eat to help heal the lining? I will admit that sugar is my vice and I eat too much of it. So, I know I need to reduce the intake of that. Otherwise, what foods are good to eat to help all of my uc issues right now? THANK U! :)

When I am having a flare like that I like to eat chicken, rice, mashed potatoes. They seem to help. If I am feeling sick to my stomach, I will eat salt it seems to help the nausea subside. Everyone is different tho. What works for some, might not work for others. I hope you start to feel better.

Everyone is different but personally I think you should be asking what not to eat instead of what to eat. I've heard that bananas are very kind to your system.

When I am flaring I eat bananas, rice, boiled chicken and scrambled eggs.

I would think brats wouldn't be good during a flare. LOL.

My flare diet consists of homemade organic chicken soup with thin rice noodles on the side. I make a big pot and eat only this for a few days until my gut is feeling better.
