Newwly Diagnosed, so confused and scared

Hi and welcome to the forum. If you're in the middle of a flare then most foods are going to upset your system. The general flare safe food list is all very bland foods with no spices, go for soups, chicken, potatoes, and rice. Go for low fiber as it's indigestible, bulks and is abrasive (while inflammation narrows the inside diameter of the large intestine and makes it raw and bleed). Try and avoid raw foods as they're more difficult to digest. Avoid caffeine which can stimulate the bowels and alcohol as it can irritate the gut.

Avoid NSAID pain relievers (aspirin, Bayer, aleve, etc.) and use only Tylenol.

A hot water bottle on the lower abdomen helps temporarIly ease our aches and pains.

The only meds that I have been given is the Canasa suppository. The Dr feels that it is best to wait for the biopsies to come back, as I have a long family history of Colon Cancer.
I am also on 10 mg of oxycodone slow release tabs twice a day for Spinal Stenosis. I told my Dr, and she feels it is ok to stay on them. (her words were "if you are in pain with them, how bad to think it will be without them).

Hello and welcome! Everyone is different so you will have to play about with your diet, but here are some foods that work for me, potatoes, oats. Chicken, eggs, and red meats aslong as they are not fatty and depends how they are cooked. Food that I completely avoid are fast foods. Fried food and gluten. Have seen huge improvements since removing gluten. I would suggest if you try one thing removing gluten and see how that goes
