My apologies if this has been posted before.

For me it's usually asian food and some caffeinated drinks.

Would love to hear back from all of you.

What kind of problems are you talking about?

Certain symptoms from food are just that...from food. But I disagree any would cause UC symptoms.

Easy to confuse the two...especially if one is flaring.

I would get gas from carbonated drinks, which I rarely drink anyway.

I would probably have somewhat looser stool from some asian foods...especially if there's a lot of fat/oil and garlic in it.

Cheddar Cheese, orange juice, nuts, some fruits, raw vegetables, high yeast products, and some pizzas. Fortunately I have discovered that almost all of the stuff that gives me problems is high in histamines and since taking the digestive enzyme diamine oxidase which helps rid the body of those histamines I have had almost no problems with these same foods.

Flaring or not, Sugar, wheat/gluten, dairy (in excess) and potatoes.

When flaring ,almost everything! Alcohol seems to bother me flaring or not. Wine bothers me the most lately . Besides my stomach ,I get a headache from hell. Even with just one glass ! Really sucks!!!

I get a lot of problems from caffeine. Mountain dew is worse than coke. My doctor told me when I was diagnosed that it is very common for raw vegetables and fruits or caffeine to cause a small "episode" of symptoms. Chinese foods and Mexican foods are bad, too. I didn't really have problems eating anything like that before the UC.

Beans, broccoli, bananas, anything spicy, fried food.

Sausage, spicey foods (mainly during a flare)
