Are there ANY beans UC can tolerate?

Ever since reading someone's post entitled "Death By Split Pea Soup," I've been wondering....

What beans/peas/lentils can you tolerate?

I know it may be different for each person but which do you find are more "user friendly" or UC friendly?

Also, is there a difference between yellow and green split pea? red and brown lentil?

thanks!

 

I love beans... when I'm flaring badly, I stay away from them. I stay away from most solid foods, actually. But when I'm not in a flare, or just having mild symptoms, I eat them fairly regularaly. I love baked beans, love beans & rice, love green split pea soup. I love chili  but tend to avoid it- the combination of the spices, beans, & other veggies/meat don't do me well! But I find beans to be an easily digestible fiber source. I sometimes suffer constipation, so keeping regular is important for me. Not really true constipation, but I think my colon forgets how to work properly & just sits there, doing nothing, so nothing moves! Beans help with that, big time!

I do o.k with white, black, kidney, or lima beans as long as they're mixed with pasta or rice & no heavy spice. Split pea soup does not bother me unless heavily salted. Lentils seem to be the most potent in terms of skins, plus I don't like them as much as beans so I rarely eat them, but again, pasta or rice

makes them more tolerable to my GI tract. For me the hardest beans to digest are types processed with heavy salt and/or mustard or tomato sauces so I generally avoid them. / Old Hat (nearly 30 yrs with left-sided UC ... [etc.])

I don't care! They taste so good...Amy's Organic baked beans are the best- they have no artificial sweeteners. Yum..... eat a can & happily fart away!

Personally, I hate any and all types of beans, not because it hurts me but because I don't like the taste or texture or anything. I eat chick peas on salad sometimes so I don't know if it's the peas or the salad that hurts my stomach.

NBT you make me giggle!
I do okay with white beans. My mom makes the best white chili (which oddly I could tolerate) with beans. I don't know if you count green beans but I for some reason LOVE green giant canned kitchen cut green beans. Just remember...beans beans the magical fruit the more you toot :)

I was diognosed with colitis in 2014... What I have found out like many that you must discipline your body to see what works best for you. For me...going to a plant base diet has tremendously helped me!! Foods that are easily digestible... It's definitely a game changer to give up a lot of your favorite foods and pastimes like hanging out eating wings and having a few drinks. It's about healthy decisions and choices. I am in remission and feel great!! It's a process to get to the point of remission but it's about loving YOU.

I second navy beans. Also black beans. Dry, not canned, soaked for 24 hours before cooking. Lima are fine for me too.

I'm ok with lentils and black beans.

As far as lentils go, the orange lentils are a bit sweeter than the brown ones.
