Ulcerative Colitis People Listen !!!

I'm not here for anything other than hopefully to make you feel better, this thing we share is something none of us should go through. I have been good for nearly 2 years and I put it down to cutting out any Vitamin C foods, like fruit drinks, which I used to drink heaps. I eat at least 2 bananas a week to keep me good.
So no Vitamin C til you are well, eat plenty of bananas, a few a week will do and you should be ok, not sure if the same applies for Crohns, but let me know anyone, we have the world to help us and would love to hear from you...

Shag it is most likely the fructose or possibly even the acid as well. I believe you are mis identifying the problem as vit C. Fuctose does cause problems for some with UC, this has been shown to be true.

look up FODMAPS diet and see what you find. This diet was designed to eliminate fructose from ones diet.

Banana's are very low in fructose. Apples and grapes are two of the higher fructose fruits.

No worries, all I know is that after all this time, citrus and dairy will usually be triggers and somehow a good old banana will get me back to normal before it gets to a bleeding stage. Once you are full blown bleeding then nothing works for me either. There have been times when I thought I could feel it coming on and then have stopped it with bananas. Is working for me, so sticking with it, but good luck with it all, heard stews with meat cooked on the bone helps too. If you eat the right things when you are well, you'll be fine and it will not come back. I have had times when I thought it was coming back, but have come good with a change of diet before it gets to a bleeding stage. Don't know what the rest of you are doing or if anything works, but wish you all the best.
