Lots of garlic
Olive oil
Green beans
Brown/white rice (mixed)
Coffee (low acid)
Beer (yes...beer!)
Cayenne pepper
Walnuts (lots of them on ice cream almost nightly)
Yes I have sugar (natural cane).

I try to workout (hike) as much as I can...

I buy foods that have no preservatives, no additives, and low sodium usually.

Hombre - u don't have colitis then!!! If i ate cayenne pepper, lots of garlic, walnuts or brown rice, I'd soon end up at hospital :) I admit to drinking beer but life without beer has no sense. Congrats!

are you guys drinking home brewed beer ? cuz from what I recall, manufacturers of alcoholic beverages don't have to disclose ingredients like other mfg's of food type products - do you REALLY know you're not drinking additives or preservatives jp ?

of course, after a few, who gives a rip !

I like that list.

Green beans and garlic are daily for me. Olive oil is a potent antibacterial.

I am particularly fond of cayenne. It has some therapeutic value in healing ulcers. It is also good for those with metabolic / blood sugar problems.

Studies show that alcohol (wine in particular) in moderation isn't harmful, though I wouldn't recommend it to those with liver problems.

Good for you!...it makes sense to find out what works for you and stick with it.

I eat a lot of garlic, olive oil, coconut milk, avocados, turmeric. I'm not drinking any alcohol at the moment though which is making me feel miserable!!

I think exercising is very important, although I fully admit to not liking it much.!

coconut milk, avocados, turmeric... hmmm I should add those also!

I'll go light on any alcohol today. You know Christmas! I recently made rum cake.

Ok rum cake sounds like the end all for anyone with any bowel disorder!!! I admit, around Christmas time I start breaking the rules.

Everyone can tolerate different things (with or without a GI issue) and researchers haven't been able to prove for sure what the exact role diet may play in regards to IBD but they do know how diet can play a huge role for irritable bowel syndrome (which is really odd I think, why can they determine safe/unsafe foods for IBS but not IBD is beyond me).

psahw, ewa....I can eat all of the above, except lots of garlic makes me nauseated. I don't drink because I feel like crap even with more than a sip.
