Pure coconut water is a sugar bomb?
From WebMD:

"Coconut water has less sugar than many sports drinks and much less sugar than sodas and some fruit juices. Plain coconut water could be a better choice for adults and kids looking for a beverage that is less sweet. But don’t overdo it, says Lillian Cheung, DSc, RD, of Harvard School of Public Health. “One 11-ounce container has 60 calories and if you drink several in one day, the calories can add up quickly,"

A lite beer is at least that many calories and it seems coconut water is not something you'd drink to excess.
Everything in moderation...

"Evian water, lactose-free nonfat or lowfat milk, 4 oz. Florida Natural oj "most pulp". I avoid anything carbonated or caffeinated & King Colon rewards me with good behavior. / Old Hat (32 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)"

haven't you heard, milk is bad for you, or you don't follow the gospel on here? ;)

Unfortunately way to much beer lately. But after the beer I drink tons of water. Water, water, water. I buy my water from a purified water place nearby. I also drink Simply Mango (a mixture of o.j. and mango juice), and lately make fennel tea at work. It's very settling to the digestive system. I go back and forth with coffee in the mornings.

Coffee is deadly to anyone with UC, I don't care what some of you say -it's always bad, all of the time when you have UC.
Just try going without for a few weeks and see for yourself.

I have gone weeks without coffee. Nothing happens. Nothing happens when I start back up. I drink one eight ounce cup black no sugar in the morning. I'm not even dead!

Now alcohol, that's deadly!

Carbonated beverages bother me too so I stir the bubbles out before drinking. Just vigorously stir until most of the bubbles are gone.

Hi everyone im 23 yr old and perhaps the only Indian on this site :p im confuse why none of you mentioned drinking pomegranate juice, mint juice(boil mint leaves in water. separate leaves and refrigrate water)etc its very good for stomach as well . And even i eat watemelon (lot of water present) .there are so many options besides plain water. Does any1 amoung you experience certain problem with them. I only take home made products.

I'm American Indian, does that count? :) I personally don't care for Pomegranate juice but black cherry juice is good. Thanks for the ideas! This is all good information, not only to the OP, but all of us as well.

Filtered water, some herbal teas, sometimes home made. Minimal fruit juice.

I don't drink much Alcohol any more but if I do I'll have a beer or cider or sometimes wine.

No milk, it doesn't really bother me too much but i avoid it.

I TRY to avoid caffeine but i'll have the odd coffee maybe once a month.

No soft drinks/soda at all.

Beatuc, yeah, sugar bomb. I only drink 1/4th box at a time even though its so good. Im doing low carb and a tiny box has 10 g! Just not worth it to me to drink my carbs.

What about black and green tea?

vitamin water XXX. Coffee sets off my UC so had to stop drinking it

I dont drink tea or coffee, purely because I'm not a fan

But love water, or soda water if i'm out and fancy something carbinated but free. i'm not a big fan of fizzy sugary drinks, but of course I have diet cola to go with my Rum or JD. and cider for the days where i dont fancy spirits but i'm out.

can't you just drink cordial / squash then its not fizzy, not sugary and is flavoured water.

Tea is fine, coffee is like drinking clorox to the colon. But of course, we are all different.

Sometimes Ginger Ale can mess with me, but it really depends. If I feeling particularly nauseous then for me there is nothing better, probably more of a comfort thing, because I drank it when I was sick as a kid, but if it works why change it.

I do have the occasional soda, but caffeine just messes with me. Also have alcohol, but the next day is always very bad, so I've pretty much given that up.

Daily:
Filtered well water (8 cups) and possibly more if necessary
Raw goat milk (1 cup)
Kombucha (2 cups)
Kefir (1 cup)
