Veggies while on a flare ok?

when im in a flare i usually stick to potatoes, carrots and green beans. brocoli and cauliflower might give you gas so id say bad idea!!.

I can't see how veggies will help one get out of a flare, but if you want to have veggies cook them till they're very soft.

Some veggies you'll have gas regardless....so maybe taking a digestive enzyme will help a bit for the ones that give you a LOT of gas (such as broccoli, cauliflower, beans, peas).

If you do see them in the toilet, don't freak about it...that's normal.

I think it's a swell idea to try them - if they don't work now, try again later - they won't kill you and probably won't cause any lasting grief if you're body isn't quite ready for them yet -

give it a go - live on the edge dog !

i avoid anything with insoluble fiber since it just scrapes the colon. it serves no purpose for me so i dont eat it. that includes greens, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, peels on anything. when my flares are bad, it doesn't matter what i'm eating since it was all give me pain and diarrhea. i just chose to avoid this crap even when i'm feeling good. the main veggies i eat are sweet potatoes and a tbsp of sauerkraut a day for probiotics. that's it! if i don't have sweet potatoes, then i eat potato starch. i eat garlic cloves on some days if i'm in the mood.

you just have to figure out what works for you. as you can see, we all have different views on this.

As I've learned you just have to try. Oddly, I've done well with veggies...I haven't even noticed an issue with raw carrots and celery in small amounts. Cabbage was a no though!!! Cucumbers were o e of the first I tried.....Cooked spinach, carrots, carrot juice, green juice from bolthouse farms, cooked squash, sweet tato...I did ok with cooked broccoli.

Just start slow and see what happens. I understanding wanting those veggies....At my worst moment, I was craving a big salad like a crazy person.
