What may have caused me to possibly flair?

I recently embarked on a thirty day challenge...like a diet....about 16 days ago...basically eat only fruit veggies and meat...I was diagnosed about nine years ago but since starting meds...never had any bad flairs or blood...recently have had bad stomach issues and some blood...My question is...have any of you had problems eating fruit? I kind of feel like I have been eating too much fruit and it is causing problems....had oatmeal this morning...trying to change my plan....open to suggestions...Thank you!
PS I had a colonoscopy this summer and everything looked great!

Ditto soy. I'd go back to how you were eating before.

Are you still on meds? I remember a discussion with you not too long ago that some new GI had declared you didn't have UC and said you could go off meds.

I would definitely go back to what was working before, no matter what it is. Fruits bother many of us. Many UC'rs are also low on the digestive enzyme DAO, which helps metabolize excess dietary histamines. Fruits can be high in histamines, the riper the fruit, the more histmaines it has.

"Currently in 80% Remission!"

have you tried just eating 80% of a salad ?

just so you know ct, tomato and blood have a few very similar characteristics - they are both RED !

Sadly it could very well be the nature of IBD, even though the first thought is to blame changes you've made in diet/lifestyle the truth is many that are in remission and don't change a thing can still end up flaring again because that is the nature of the IBD beast...even for those that take their meds religiously and closely watch their diet they too do get re-occuring flares because the disease is always truly in charge even though we like to think we are, we play a partial role in taking our meds/naturals and diet.

But I agree with others that suggest you cut back on the fruit/go back to the diet you were eating while you were feeling well...hope you manage to get it all under control again, it's very tricky when you're working so hard against an "evil demon" like IBD.

That easy. You have UC which is a chronic relapsing condition with no medication, diet or supplement that will change that.

I eat a low residue diet when I have a flare and it reduces suffering. My vegetables are spinach(even raw) and green beans. Fruit is bananas and apple sauce. Mutant skinless chicken breast and fish. White rice, white and sweet potatoes, winter squash,noodles and some white bread. Yogurt.

Totally unsuccessful trying to pinpoint what I did or ate that caused a flare, I have been doing great lately and I drank lots of wine every day, ate tons of tomatoes and raw vegetables,lots of fish and meat...wait the same thing I ate and drank last summer when I had a flare. I did add chia seed to my granola..that must be it. Seriously, I try to eat a overall healthy diet and i do eat lots of yogurt and fermented vegetables. Being a food phob stresses me out and I actually like kale, broccoli and stinky fish. Like berries, squash and pinto beans.
