Anyone able to eat raw foods?

I eat very small amounts of raw fruit once in awhile... But generally I try to avoid it. Doesn't make for fun BM's if I eat too much.

Raw vegetables are pretty much out. I have a peach tree in my backyard and there is absolutely nothing better in this world than fresh peaches. I Indulged for a couple of days and it set my UC back a little bit for those two days but it was worth it.

No problems with most fruits. As long as I keep the amount within reason. Raw veggies usually good too for me but I try to steam them for a little bit to help break them down.

I eat vegan now, and eat a lot of fruit..I do not notice any difference with any type of food stuffs and my colon..The key for me is 2 tablespoons of Metamucil coarse original a day

Yeah I have had a setback the last few days. Lovely
Lady time always treats me great lol. So now finding raw veggies etc causing pain etc. Sucks cuz I love it. Had to tighten up on diet pretty well, doing what I can before I might have to go back up on pred again.

Bear flag- what does Metamucil do?

i do okay with raw fruits as long as i don't eat a lot. raw veggies not so much. i do well with raw nut/seed butters, eggs, and dairy, too.

Last year, the very thought of eating raw foods would give me a fissure.

I think I do okay with them this time around. smilewinkgrin

Yeah I eat raw fruits without issue.

I eat tons of raw veggies and fruit but avoid them if flaring. It's a fact that they make diareha worse and coarse fiber irritates inflamed tissue.

Nice! Yeah I was eating raw veggie before but definitely cannot if I have any sort of diarrhea.

I can eat all fruits (not the peel of the apple) and most veggies raw when I'm not flaring. When I'm flaring, fruit like bananas, watermelon, cantaloupe, and apples are fine but raw veggies are out.

I'm fine with raw fruits and veggies, and I eat quite a bit this time of year, when local produce is ripe (and yummy).

fruitgirl: Just curious reading your siggie. I remember you had a flareup a few months ago which your siggie says was quickly resolved but your siggie also says that now you seem to wonder if you have become intolerant to the mesalamine enemas. What do you credit for your remission being quickly resolved?

I used steroid enemas. Before I realized I was having a problem with the mesalamine enemas, I was using the steroid ones during the day and mesalamine at night. After I realized the problem, I used the steroid at night for a couple of weeks, then twice a week for two weeks, then quit. I've been fine since.

I have recently turned raw vegan so I only eat raw food although this is obviously something I have started from a position of being in a good remission in an attempt to get off my meds for good. I would not start eating raw veg during a flair! Active inflammation + raw veggies = bad idea!
