idea I went to a new specialist today after a major flare up.
I tried to get info on diet- what to eat and what to stay away from.
Is there anywhere I could find proper guidelines??
How are you meant to know!
I need HELP please :)
Thanks guys

PS- even not knowing if white bread VS rye bread is better. I'm lost!

Diet is very individual with this disease. For me, if the food triggers a reaction, I stop eating it.

this it it exactly zoosh !

it's all about YOUR diet, not mine - i got to mine after years of experimenting -

mine >

a. you would probably not like
b. would probably not work for you

there is lots of advice out there as to what works the best - try some of it and see how it does for you -

what is your current diet like ?

Yes diet is very individual. But if you are completely clueless as to where to start, try the SCD diet and see if it works for you since it has worked for many and there are even some inklings of scientific evidence backing it.

Id say either SCD or Low Residue is the best

First of all you can avoid bread altogether, at least for a 2-3 weeks. Gluten in bread and all wheat products cause problems for many here. Hopefully you will be able to eat gluten but keeping a food diary could help you to see what food you need to stay away from.

I would eat as healthy as possible (organic, mostly plant based, all natural foods) when I was not flaring, but when I was I would switch to a soft/low fiber diet.

Highly reccommend SCD diet! try it and stick with it!

I also recommend trying SCD initially. It works very well for some, but certainly not at all. And some on here have found it is a good starting point but requires tinkering. If you do start it, I recommend starting with cooked vegetables and meat before trying the honey, nut and fruit based recipes. If it helps you, you should see SOME improvement in a few weeks. If nothing else, it also opens your eyes to just how much added sugar there is in food that you'd never expect--Grey Poupon mustard for example. There's no need for sugar in Dijon mustard.
