Hospital on Thursday-UC flare Need help with foods

i'd go with roasted meats like beef, pork, and chicken so you can make a lot and the meat is so tender. i do this in a crockpot on low all day. if you can make bone broth from the leftover meats, that would be good and calming for your gut. eggs are great any way you can eat them. yogurt/kefir should definitely be on your list. i also love cheese because it is constipating which can be good when you are pooping a lot. no greens or fibrous foods- that's for sure. if you can get your hands on some gelatin and make that, it always sooths my belly. i just mix it with juice i have at home. my favorite fats are avocados, coconut butter/oil, bacon fat, olive oil.

Eat low fiber foods so your gut has less work to do. Instead of high amounts of cooked veggies turn half of them into juice which has much less fiber. Avocado has fiber so less of that even though it has good oil.

Meat has always agreed with my colon, easy to break down.
When my gut acts up I always go to: chicken broth, chicken, well cooked baby carrots, cooked spinach.
Dessert: cooked apple or applesauce.

Drink lots of water (not caffeinated beverages) and a spoonful of coconut oil can be put in a smoothie for extra credit

Good luck with everything including the c-scope. The prep is yuck but must be done.

Go with low fibrous foods. Stay out from sugar, wheat, diary all processed and store brought foods.

Home made chicken soup is a best bet during flare.

My daughter had 1 whole year survived with cooked and pureed butternut squash for lunch and dinner.

Check into SCD diet or Paleo diet - you will get lots of good information.

 We learned that if we can get things under control in the initial stage itself, then the journey with this disease will be very close to pre-UC days.

 

I agree with Ima and Bananagirl.

You've gotten some good suggestions.

In my experience low residue isn't soothing to the gut as it contains wheat, dairy, gluten.

I would suggest Paleo.
