Fiber during flare?

Hi,

I'm currently in the midst of a flare up after being in remission for about a year. I'm currently taking the supplements and enema in my signature, as well as drinking milk Kefir daily, and drinking lots of ginger tea.

I was wondering if anyone had some diet tips. Am I correct that I should basically be eliminating most/all fiber?
My diet is currently focused on white grains(bread, rice, pasta) eggs, chicken, skinned zuchinni, mushrooms, bananas, greek yogurt.

Thanks

Edit,

For active flare low-residue (low fiber) is recommended for going easy on the colon and for the practical reason of having less poop. Some fiber also causes gas, which is really unfortunate with an anus full of mucus.

At some point however, good fibers can help firm up diarrhea. SO you will need to decide when to transition. Also, find food-fiber or supplement-fiber that agrees with you and makes little gas.

Good luck.

Fiber aids with both C and D and it only causes gas and bloating initially, that happens to normal people as well, once your system adjusts to it (which is why you go slow with fiber and only increase if necessary) it doesn't cause you to continuously have gas/bloating....drink extra water daily along with fiber, at least 25 mg of daily fiber is recommended but again, you start slow and only build up if you find it necessary...increase water intake with the increased fiber amount as well.

Some do better with either soluble or insoluble or both (which it's recommended you eat both types but at least one is better than none at all) people have no idea what they're doing to themselves when they completely eliminate fiber from their diet unless you have stricture issues you should not avoid all fiber)

You can read up on the differences between soluble and insoluble fiber and that should be a good starting point for you, try one type first and see how things go, when you read up on the two types go with your instinct to what type you think would be best for you to start with and see how things go, it's all trial and error (and that goes for all foods/beverages).

One thing's for sure, people generally only think about the food, you have to think about what you're drinking as well (besides water) because what you drink can have negative effects as well.

C = things aint moving so good -

D = things is moving really really really good - and often !

eat what works - don't eat the other stuff - no easy answers - me myself personally, do fine with fiber of all varieties - cut back some for flares, but not completely -
